States that have expanded their Medicaid coverage also saw an
uptick in the number of thyroid cancer diagnoses both for Medicaid recipients
and the state's overall population. Results of this study, published in the
Sept. 16 JAMA Surgery, show that thyroid cancer joins the long list of
other cancers affected by Medicaid expansion. Broadening the government
program has already been associated with increased and earlier detection of
breast, colorectal, lung and cervical cancers. |
