Politics in the United States are changing every day. Â One of the policies under scrutiny is the Affordable Care Act, also known as the ACA and as Obamacare. Â The ACA made many strides towards helping cancer patients and survivors obtain and maintain their health insurance coverage. Â There is fear that changes made to the ACA (or the repeal of it entirely) will dramatically impede the young adult cancer community in having quality and affordable health insurance. Â You have the power to let your voice be heard. Â Are you only covered because of the ACA? Â Before the ACA removed lifetime caps in coverage, would you have run out of coverage due to cancer treatments? Â Were you able to change jobs or take time off of work because of the flexibility the ACA finally allowed people with pre-existing conditions…*cough* cancer *cough.*
