WELCOME TO AMERICA'S CANCER
PATIENT RIGHTS MOVEMENT
Welcome to the club you never asked to join.
We’re pissed too.
Your health insurance (or lack thereof) should never decide whether you live or die, and can we all agree that GoFundMe is not the cure for cancer?
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER,
IT'S TIME FOR THE CANCER COMMUNITY TO ORGANIZE!
LEGISLATIVE AGENDA
We’re introducing the Cancer Patient Protection Act (CPPA), bold legislation that guarantees every patient a Healthcare Steward from the moment of diagnosis. Like a public defender in the legal system, this is a certified, independent advocate assigned to you and only you. Their job is to challenge insurance barriers, prevent harmful delays, and help shield families from financial devastation.
Every patient is guaranteed a certified, independent Healthcare Steward to stand with them, cut insurance games, and guide them to the right care.
CPPA stops denials, delays, and fine-print tricks that end lives. You get care when it’s prescribed, without the prior authorization nightmare.
CPPA blocks surprise costs for essential cancer care—transport, fertility, mental health, and more. Families keep savings while patients stay alive.
"THIS IS HOW WE FLIP THE POWER DYNAMIC. NOT WITH AWARENESS. NOT WITH RIBBONS. WITH LEGISLATION THAT FORCES THE SYSTEM TO SERVE THE PEOPLE FOOTING THE BILL."
— Matthew Zachary, Founder, We The Patients
