shermandarlene+FollowCancer Costs: The Hidden Price TagDid you know a cancer diagnosis can make your wallet hurt almost as much as your body? New research found that privately insured patients under 65 see their out-of-pocket costs jump by nearly $600 a month after diagnosis—and it only gets worse as the disease progresses. Even early-stage cancer means hundreds more per month, while late-stage can cost over $700 extra. Makes you wonder if our insurance system is really helping when it matters most. #Health #BodyHealth #CancerCosts1012Share
Jacqueline Howard DDS+FollowCancer Costs: The Hidden Price TagGetting diagnosed with cancer isn’t just a health shock—it’s a financial one, too. New research shows privately insured folks under 65 see their out-of-pocket costs spike by almost $600 a month after a cancer diagnosis, and it only gets pricier as the disease progresses. Even early-stage cancer means hundreds more per month, while advanced cases can top $700 extra. It’s a brutal reminder that insurance doesn’t always mean affordable care, and why policy changes are so needed. #Health #BodyHealth #CancerCosts53Share
