Effects of the Affordable
Care Act Among Cancer Survivors: Expanded Insurance Options and Other Potential
Impacts
July 24, 2014 at 1:00 p.m. ET
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) represents the
most dramatic expansion of health insurance for vulnerable Americans since
implementation of the Medicaid and Medicare programs in the 1960s. The
legislation and accompanying regulations are complex, as they are designed to
address a variety of gaps in coverage while working within existing structures
for providing health insurance. Some aspects of the ACA are specifically
designed to address barriers to coverage for individuals with health problems
such as cancer that may keep them out of the labor force or otherwise limit
access to private insurance. This session will provide an overview of key
components of the ACA and how they provide expanded insurance options for
cancer survivors, as well as other potential impacts on out-of-pocket burdens,
access to specialty providers and therapies, and enrollment in clinical trials.
