Arthur Woodson speaks about the rare blood cancers caused by the water crisis in Flint, Michigan, and how increased access to Multi-Cancer Early Detection (MCED) tests could save lives. The National Minority Quality Forum Action Network is partnering with community members like Arthur to advocate for Medicare and Medicaid coverage for the MCED tests that minority communities need.
“I hate that the disenfranchised community is always the last to benefit off of something new, because once it starts out, it’s expensive, and the low-income poverty-stricken communities don’t have access to it when it first comes out.”
The National Minority Quality Forum’s “Lift Every Voice” Patient Network shares our stories, so we can be informed and empowered partners in our own care. Your story is powerful. You can share it with the Lift Every Voice Patient Network at this link.
