To begin this edition, Chief Executive Prof Martin Green shares his insight:
🗣 "The Care England conference, Championing Change, was a good opportunity for Care England members to come together and debate the challenges and opportunities of the future. It is quite clear that we cannot rely on politicians coming to our aid, and so increasingly, we have got to think strategically about how we craft our destiny and take control of our future."

I'm excited to announce Part 7 of my blog series - The Battle for Justice: 'Sickcare' vs. 'Health Owners.'
Well, I shared the final installment of the series last week. However, because the series ended up pretty long, I decided to offer a concise summary! 🙂
If you're very busy (which I know most of you are) but interested in thought-provoking stuff, this blog post is for you.
It only takes about 3 minutes. Please check it out and let me know what you think!

According to the American Cancer Society, over 2 million cancer diagnoses are expected in 2024 in the United States: the highest estimation ever.
More than 16.9 million Americans living today have a
cancer history. As a leading cause of death and disease in the U.S.,
not only does cancer take an enormous toll on the health of patients
and survivors—it also has a tremendous financial impact.
For patients and their families, the costs associated with direct cancer care are staggering.
In 2018 cancer patients in the U.S. paid $5.6 billion out of pocket for cancer treatments, including surgical procedures, radiation treatments and chemotherapy drugs.
Overall Cancer Costs are Rising
Cancer also represents a significant portion of total U.S. health care spending. Approximately $183 billion was spent in the U.S. on cancer-
related health care in 2015, and this amount is projected to grow to $246 billion by 2030—an increase of 34%.
These high costs are paid by people with cancer and their families, employers, insurance companies, and taxpayer-funded public programs like Medicare and Medicaid.
The Costs of Cancer Do Not Impact All Patients Equally
Because of high costs, many people with cancer and those who have survived cancer experience financial hardship, including problems paying bills, depletion of savings, delaying or skipping needed medical care, and potential bankruptcy. These costs and hardships do not impact all cancer
patients equally—certain factors make a patient more likely to experience financial hardship.
Financial toxicity is the economic burden patients experience from the costs related to getting treatment for their cancer.
Cancer care is expensive. By one 2020 estimate, the average cost of medical care and drugs is more than $42,000 in the year following a cancer diagnosis. To complicate matters, up to 85% of cancer patients leave the workforce during their initial treatment. Consequently, more than 40% of patients spend their entire life savings in the first two years of treatment,
while roughly 30% of Americans with a cancer history report having had problems paying their medical bills, having to borrow money, or filing for bankruptcy protection because of their cancer. In addition, informal caregivers, often family members, also experience out-of-pocket and opportunity costs, estimated to be upwards of several thousand dollars per month.
How we pay for care should reflect our values — and that includes our health insurance system. None of us want a society in which financial toxicity
prevents cancer patients from care that can save their lives or make them healthier.
