In 2019, I was once again diagnosed with bone cancer. There was a new treatment that was very promising for my type of cancer, but my health insurance, yep, United Healthcare, would not pay for it. They said it was experimental, even though it had been around for more than 3 years. My doctor took me downstairs at NYU Langone and I met with a patient support specialist. She helped me reach out to New York State and apply for Medicaid, which would cover the treatment.1/2 Health Insurance

Because Medicaid covered 100% of my costs, the doctors were able to expand my treatment and I am now 100% cancer free. This is the relapse they said would be the end of my life. Medicaid for All is the way to go. I worked hard and paid my taxes all my life. I shouldn’t have to die because a healthcare CEO wants to make more money.

I opted for embolization in 2021. Not as effective but covered by UHC. But now the fibroids are back to giving me problems again. Cutting the blood supply to the tumors didn’t work and I know disintegrating with lasers would have eliminated them all together. Now I have to consider hormone therapy for them. Make it make sense.🙄

I thought Medicaid was for folks with very little in assets and very little income. Again, genuinely curious and not trying to start a fight. Thanks.
