American society of clinical oncology policy statement on Medicaid reform

Abstract

Entitlement reform is likely to dominate the discussion of the upcoming Congress, and the Medicaid provisions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) are being implemented this year. The American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) has an opportunity to help shape the debate about how cancer care will be delivered to our most vulnerable patients. As Medicaid continues to evolve in the post-ACA era, ASCO sets forth the following guiding principles with the goal of providing access to high-quality cancer care for all low-income individuals.
