The Affordable Care Act (ACA) has reduced the number of uninsured persons in the United States to a historic low. Debate continues about potential changes to the law that could affect coverage for millions, particularly those with preexisting conditions. Meanwhile, cancer is the leading cause of death among Americans aged 19 to 64 years.1 Treatment is often unaffordable for uninsured patients,2 and some studies suggest that expanding insurance coverage could improve cancer-related outcomes.3 Our objective was to quantify changes in health insurance coverage under the ACA among patients newly diagnosed with cancer.

根据《平价医疗法案》改变癌症患者的保险范围
《平价医疗法案》（ACA）将美国的未参保人数减少到历史最低水平。关于法律的潜在变化的辩论仍在继续，这可能会影响数以百万计的人群，尤其是那些已有疾病的人群。同时，癌症是19至64岁美国人的主要死亡原因。1对于没有保险的患者，治疗通常是负担不起的，2和一些研究表明，扩大保险范围可以改善与癌症相关的结局。3我们的目标是量化新诊断为癌症的患者在ACA下的健康保险承保范围的变化。
