You or a loved one get a diagnosis of Cancer your shocked, your scared and your angry and then you think of your loved ones. On top of that you are thrown in the maze of a healthcare system navigating prior auths, scheduling appointments, dealing with the bills…are they accurate, how do you pay for this care and then you wonder are you getting the same care as everyone else…the care you deserve.
