A survey of 417 Massachusetts residents sponsored by the Massachusetts Medical Society found that most Massachusetts adults believe that affordability is the single most important health care issue facing the state.

When asked to choose among cost of care, access to care, and quality of care as the most pressing issue, nearly eight-in-ten residents select cost.
