Medicaid Expansion and Cancer
Why SQ 802 is so important to early detection and treatment of cancer for ALL Oklahomans. 

Medicaid expansion will promote earlier cancer detection, fewer deaths and improved outcomes for patients.  

• Medicaid expansion is associated with improved rates of colorectal, prostate, and cervical cancer screenings.
• Individuals enrolled in Medicaid prior to their cancer diagnosis have better survival rates than those who enroll after their diagnosis.
• Medicaid expansion has led to an increase in both total and earlier-stage cancer diagnoses in expansion states, while the gap in diagnoses between expansion and non-expansion states has widened.
• Medicaid expansion has been associated with decreased cigarette and other tobacco product purchases, as well as increased access, utilization, and coverage of evidence-based smoking cessation medications.
