those deals are only offered by providers who are part of the state's "uncompensated care" type of program, usually a large public hospital or clinic affiliated with one.

If you live in a rural area, where most oncology care is provided in outpatient oncology practices not linked to the state's system, you get no care regardless of income level.

We see dozens of patients getting turned away from these practices every month. Their only option is to pay cash up front for treatment or travel hundreds of miles to a big city hospital.
