People without health insurance are more likely to be diagnosed with advanced stages of cancer and more likely to forgo important screening tests, like mammography and colonoscopy. Cancer survivors are often denied coverage or only offered coverage they can’t afford.

That means that the more than 47 million Americans who lack health insurance are more vulnerable to cancer and less likely to benefit from early detection – which saves lives.
