Wow Dede . . . these are outstanding resources! . . . One note . . . for some reason, blank spaces get inserted in web addresses - probably a precaution to keep websites from being automatically flooded with trash. . . Be sure to remove blank spaces to access websites!I'm putting this in a folder for future reference!Love,Rogene

Financial Assistance and Other Resources for People

With Cancer: Cancer imposes heavy economic burdens

on both patients and their families. For many people, a portion

of medical expenses is paid by their health insurance plan.

For individuals who do not have health insurance or who

need financial assistance to cover health care costs,

resources are available, including Government-sponsore d

programs and services supported by nonprofit organizations.

Cancer patients and their families should discuss any

concerns they may have about health care costs with their

physician, medical social worker, or the business office

of their hospital or clinic.

This is about FREE hospitalization, if you need it and

they WILL help you!

In 1946, Congress passed a law that gave hospitals, nursing

homes and other health facilities grants and loans for construction

and modernization. In return, they agreed to provide a reasonable volume of services to persons unable to pay and to make their

services available to all persons residing in the facility's area. The program stopped providing funds in 1997, but about 300 health

care facilities nationwide are still obligated to provide free or

reduced-cost care.
