"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Cancer Survival Rates by Medicaid Status
Submitted by Melinda L. Secor on Sun, 2012-01-22 02:00
"Cancer patients on Medicaid survive less time after their diagnosis than people with private or no insurance, data from Ohio show. Dr. Derek Raghavan and colleagues looked at eight different cancers in patients from an Ohio cancer registry. Spanning thousands of patients cases, the research team focused on survival rates after five years -- five years is a normal metric given that the cancers in question are curable and should therefore confer five more years of life."
