No Cancer Patient Should Miss Chemo Because They Can’t Afford a Ride

The Issue

 

💛 Thank You for Standing With Us 💛

To everyone who’s signed, shared, or spoken up—thank you. Your support means the world to us.

Gregg hasn’t even started chemo yet, and already we’re facing barriers no one should have to fight through. But because of you, we’re not facing them alone.

Every signature is a reminder that compassion still exists. That injustice can be challenged. That love, when amplified, becomes action.

We’re just getting started—and we’re so grateful you’re with us.

My name is Roxanne, and I’m writing from Beavercreek, Ohio. My husband Gregg is fighting cancer. He needs ambulance transport to get to and from chemo—every time. It’s not optional. It’s not a luxury. It’s survival.

Medicare covers 80% of the cost. That sounds generous—until you realize that the remaining 20% can be hundreds of dollars per trip. And we’re expected to pay that out of pocket. We can’t. We’re barely making ends meet as it is.

This isn’t just our story. It’s happening to others. Quietly. Desperately. Unseen.

Cancer patients who need ambulance transport are being priced out of their own treatment. They’re missing chemo. They’re risking their lives—not because they’re unwilling, but because they’re too poor to get there.

This is a failure of dignity. A failure of policy. A failure of basic human decency.

We demand that Medicare fully cover medically necessary ambulance transport for cancer patients. No copay. No loopholes. No one left behind.

Because if Gregg can’t get to chemo, who else is being left behind?
