Medicaid Is Essential in the Fight Against Cancer

July 10, 2025

Medicaid provides access to life-saving care for people in America fighting cancer, especially low-income individuals primarily from rural and underserved communities. 

Cancer is the second-highest cause of death in America, and more than 2 million people will be diagnosed with cancer this year. Medicaid covers cancer screenings, diagnostic tests, treatments, surgeries, prescription medications and follow-up care that give cancer patients the best chance after a life-changing diagnosis.
