As part of the cancer moonshot initiative launched by Vice President Joe Biden, Family Reach has launched the Financial Treatment Project.
One option to help patients burdened by financial toxicity is to create a
program like Social Security Disability Insurance or unemployment
insurance that serves those least equipped to endure financial hardship.
It would kick in at the onset of a major cancer diagnosis and provide
cash assistance for a defined period. This would go beyond the cost of
care, as many families say that loss of income plus out-of-pocket costs
for transportation, childcare, and caregiving are even bigger burdens
than the copays.
