Throwback read from Advocate Diane Hampton in

Expired affordability measures for ACA plans has led to significantly higher healthcare costs and an anticipated loss of coverage for millions this year. Read about the impact in your state. https://t.co/PGkNgGsbTA

[Janice Cowden @JaniceTNBCmets]

Without the patient voice, HCPs, payers, regulators, & health systems cannot fully understand what matters most to people actually living with cancer. Patient preference is not one-size-fits-all. It varies widely based on goals, values, QoL, risk tolerance, & lived experience. Diverse patient voices in decision making are necessary.
