Breast Cancer will affect one in eight American women during their lifetime, being the second leading type of cancer among women. The last thing a woman needs to be burdened with after hearing she has breast cancer is insurance and finances.

Rising health care costs and inadequate coverage burden many American’s on a daily basis, not just those with Breast Cancer. Unfortunately, it’s those people with life-threatening diseases that feel the consequences the deepest. 

Breast Cancer patients face great uncertainty in the current health care system. Women diagnosed with Breast Cancer, whether insured or not, face significant and sometimes devastating hurdles towards receiving timely, affordable treatment.  

This year alone, an estimated 192,370 American women will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 40,170 will die from the disease. Medical coverage should not be a hurdle in the way of the rest of your life.

Health insurance reform seeks to eliminate these hurdles to ensure that women with breast cancer, along with all Americans, receive the quality, affordable and timely health care they deserve. 

NuHealth System accepts both Medicare and Medicaid, making breast healthcare more accessible to all women. NuHealth’s Breast Imaging Center offers the ideal combination of technology and clinical expertise from early detection through care during your treatments.
