uninsured medicaid/other public employer/other private
no usual source of care

postponed or did not get needed prescription drug due to cost
based on the table, what can you infer is accurate concerning barriers to care?
people with employer - paid or private insurance experience the most barriers to health care.
the most common health - related problem is not receiving needed medication.
health barriers are similar for people with private insurance and those with public assistance.
the greatest health barrier for people who are uninsured is not having a regular source of care.

Explanation:

• For the first option: The uninsured (54% for no usual source) have higher barriers than employer/private - insured (12% for no usual source), so this option is wrong.
• For the second option: The table does not mention "not receiving needed medication" as the most common problem.
• For the third option: Employer/private (e.g., 12% no usual source) and Medicaid/other public (13% no usual source) have some differences, not "similar" in all aspects.
• For the fourth option: The uninsured have 54% for "no usual source of care", which is the highest among the categories for this barrier.

Answer:

The greatest health barrier for people who are uninsured is not having a regular source of care.
