Changes in insurance coverage among cancer patients under the Affordable Care Act.
Uninsurance among patients with newly diagnosed cancer fell by one-third in the ACA’s first year. Coverage gains were significant across numerous common cancers, multiple demographic groups, and early-stage and late-stage disease. Large gains among Hispanic individuals were consistent with findings of other ACA studies and may indicate narrowing disparities.
