• The Act prohibits insurance companies from denying coverage based on pre-existing conditions. Previously, many young adult survivors trying to find coverage were told they were “uninsurable” as a result of their cancer. Of the nation’s 350,000 childhood cancer survivors, two-thirds face severe or life-threatening late effects, which makes insurance coverage an absolute necessity for this population.
• The Act mandates that all children, including childhood cancer survivors, be allowed to stay on their parents’ health care plan up to age 26. Before passage of the legislation, many young adult cancer survivors found themselves in an insurance gap - dropped from their parents’ plan and unable to purchase their own coverage.
• The Act prohibits insurance companies from imposing lifetime caps on coverage. Previously, childhood cancer survivors could find that treatment for late effects, such as a second cancer or other health complication, would “max out” their insurance coverage, forcing them into enormous medical debts.

Time to measure whats really important to you from time to time… To me without a doubt its doing what I can.. To me that’s doing what I can for childhood cancer. I have met countless children in treatment, some kids just out of treatment, parents who have lost their CHILDREN or INFANTS, and even met children who will one day lose their battle. Enough is enough if children are the future, if life is important, if being a parent is important then why aren’t we doing something for the kids who typically can’t fight and advocate for themselves. Parents are left way to grief stricken and medical bill burdened to fight… We have to fight for them. The place is where? Here! The time is NOW!! We need to give that fighting Chance. Actions speak louder than words. Enough is enough Measure up.
