Americans More Worried About Paying For Cancer Than Dying From It.
Americans worry more about how to pay for cancer treatment than dying from the illness, a new survey found.
The survey, conducted by the nonprofit organization Community Oncology Alliance, found that fewer than half of Americans surveyed think their insurance plans would cover the full cost of cancer treatment.
Only 25 percent think Medicare would provide for the full cost of cancer treatment.
Sixty-nine percent of Americans surveyed said they were very concerned about paying for cancer treatment, while 68 percent said they were very concerned about dying from cancer.
