According to ruralinfohealth.org 43.4% of uninsured rural residents report that they do not have a usual source of care and 26.5% delayed or did not receive care in the previous year due to cost. A 2014 debrief from the Kaiser Family Foundation points out that the rural uninsured, when compared to their urban counterparts, face greater difficulty accessing care due to the limited supply of rural healthcare providers who offer low-cost or charity healthcare.
