New, Simple Guide Explains How the Affordable Care Act Helps Cancer Patients and their Loved Ones
The American Cancer Society and the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN) have produced a new, consumer-friendly guide that describes how provisions of the Affordable Care Act help people with cancer and their families.
Featuring the stories of three people who have battled cancer or lost a loved one to the disease, the guide describes how provisions of the law improve the quality of care and make health care more affordable, available and easier for patients to understand.
The guide is part of ongoing efforts to educate the public about the law and its benefits for cancer patients, survivors and their families. The law, while not perfect, will meaningfully improve the health care system for people with cancer and save lives.

In what way is: “The Afordable Care ACt”, suppose to help patients, still BEDFAST, due to ncomplete CARE, due to HALF done billing with INS>? By only billing the PRIMARY ins., but not the SECONDARY! What is the point of having a SECONDARY INS., if it is not being used? TYPE#2 DIABETES has also set in, which partly comes from LACK of ACTIVITY! Who is LIABLE to INVESTIGATE CASES?

This is a wonderful publication of the Affordable Care Act facts. The document clearly states that ACA is not perfect, but it is a wonderful start to transforming the current healthcare system for the benefit of patients. I agree that this document should be prominent in medical offices, hospitals and cancer centers everywhere. We need to be informed of the facts of the Affordable Care Act, not frightened by the fiction that has been promoted about it.
