According to ACS CAN, cancer patients across the United States paid almost $4 billion to cover out-of-pocket expenses in 2014. That same year, employers, insurance providers, and public health assistance plans such as Medicaid and Medicare paid an additional $87.8 billion to cover treatment-related expenses.
