My family is struggling due to a recent breast cancer diagnosis and the monster of health profiteering reared its ugly head on day one.

Boostable Request: Do you anyone who might know if any solid cancer center in the US will accept a breast cancer patient without insurance?

Is it best to push through to get COBRA activated? Any way to start with cash payments first? Any other tips?

Context: both spouses are jobless & COBRA coverage activation is dragging.

@olivierlacan In Massachusetts you can get MassHealth (Medicaid) if your income is low enough. The income calculation is based on your current income, NOT for example based on your income while you were employed. It might be similar in your state.

@stepheneb Given the relevant state is Florida I’m not convinced but we’ll check. Thanks.

@olivierlacan and if the situation gets truly dire you could move to MA and apply.
