The largest survey yet to examine seriously ill patients receiving charitable copayment assistance found high out-of-pocket costs impact access to health care, adherence to medication, and quality of life even for those on Medicare.
The independent research, funded by the HealthWell Foundation, found that 31 percent of the 1550 respondents from across the United States said they would be forced to go without treatment if they lost their charitable copay support. Nearly all the patients in the study, published in Cancer, a journal published by the @AmericanCancerSociety, were insured by Medicare.

According to the @anxietyanddepression_adaa, a coexisting condition like #anxiety may overshadow #ADHD, causing ADHD to go undiagnosed for years due to the focus on the other disorder. Moreover, if anxiety is not diagnosed and treated, it can negatively affect the immune system, mood, and thought processes and make ADHD symptoms worse and recovery more difficult.
