How does the ACA help with the cost of cancer treatment?
The ACA aims to make cancer treatment more affordable through several mechanisms:
Subsidies and Tax Credits: Financial assistance in the form of subsidies and tax credits is available to help low- and middle-income individuals purchase insurance through the Health Insurance Marketplace. Medicaid Expansion: The ACA allows states to expand Medicaid eligibility, providing coverage to more low-income individuals, including those with cancer. Cost-Sharing Reductions: For eligible individuals, the ACA offers additional cost-sharing reductions to lower out-of-pocket costs for medical care.
