Great article out of the Wall Street Journal today that says more Americans are delaying health care because of costs.

"About 20% of the respondents in a 2007 survey of 18,000 people said that they had put off or gone without needed medical treatment at some point in the year earlier, up from 14% in a 2003 survey."

Were you one of those people? If so, what did you delay? What are you waiting for? Better health insurance? To qualify for Medicare? Other?
