Why are cancer patients at Sloan Kettering concerned about losing medical coverage?
Why are cancer patients at Sloan Kettering concerned about losing medical coverage?
Cancer patients at Sloan Kettering are concerned about losing medical coverage due to a financial dispute between the hospital and health insurance giant Cigna.
In a letter sent to patients, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) informed them that Cigna does not plan to renew their contract as an in-network insurance provider in 2024.
Patients, including those with Stage 4 cancer, received letters stating that their in-network coverage with Cigna would soon be dropped, potentially affecting their ability to receive care at MSK in the future.
MSK has urged patients to call Cigna to put pressure on the insurer to maintain their coverage while negotiations for a new contract are ongoing.
Patients undergoing active treatment at MSK would still qualify for in-network coverage at least through April 14, 2024, and bone marrow transplants would be covered for a year from treatment.

What is the significance of Lady Chatterley and Mickey Mouse entering the public domain?
Lady Chatterley's Lover and Mickey Mouse have entered the public domain.
This means that anyone can now freely use and adapt these works without infringing on copyright.
There is speculation about the potential for creating crossovers or parodies involving Lady Chatterley and Mickey Mouse.
However, it is noted that any adaptations of Mickey Mouse should specify the version from "Steamboat Willie" to avoid copyright issues with later iterations.
