Zusammenfassung:Enhanced coverage and access has translated to the diagnosis of cancer at earlier stages of disease and more timely treatment; survivors have benefited from improved affordability and enhanced access to care for chronic disease.4 We obtained 2011–19 data from the annual Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System nationwide survey to investigate temporal correlations between the evolving political climate, specific policies, and insurance coverage for cancer survivors. According to the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, the number of cancer survivors without health insurance steadily declined after the 2010 passage of the Affordable Care Act and implementation of provisions for coverage led to the highest number of people with health insurance (weighted average 619 190 [7·9%] of cancer survivors). Beginning in 2017, progressive destabilisation of the private insurance markets has led to a reversal of insurance gains and a slow increase in the number of people without health insurance consistent with the erosion of Affordable Care Act policies (weighted average 809 631 [9·9%] of cancer survivors in 2019), particularly in states that did not expand Medicaid eligibility (appendix).
