Lisa Lacasse: Having comprehensive, affordable health insurance is a major determining factor in surviving cancer
Lisa Lacasse, President of American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Any cuts to Medicaid would significantly jeopardize critical health care access for millions of people in America. Research from the American Cancer Society has repeatedly shown that having comprehensive, affordable health insurance is a major determining factor in surviving cancer.
Ensuring the maintenance and expansion of affordable, comprehensive health care coverage through Medicaid will continue to be a top priority for American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN).
We urge Congress to reject any proposals to use Medicaid as a piggy bank to pay for other programs and prioritize the health and safety of their constituents by ensuring that those eligible for this critical program, including cancer patients, survivors and their families, continue to have access without barriers.”
