Medicaid Denies Coverage For Breast Cancer Patient Because He’s A Man

26-year-old Raymond Johnson was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. He doesn't have insurance, as his job laying tile doesn't provide him with enough money to afford it. So he turned to a Medicaid program designed to help pay for breast cancer treatment. Unfortunately, Raymond's application was denied, because he's a man. Literally. The letter he received back said that the program was “for women only.”

  • Clear case of sexual discrimination. He could probably get a lawyer to do this case pro bono for the notoriety. Breast cancer association would probably pitch in for the publicity too.

  • women and children first. this goes to show you how disposable most people (including men) think men are. not only is it more difficult for a man to get diagnosed with depression but also this… great.

  • This is effing horrible for this man. I'd seen this on the news this morning. I believe this news report said his state representative is working on getting Medicaid to reverse their decision on his case.

  • Wow, are they really that uneducated about towards policies? Breast cancer is a disease that affects men AND woman. It's simply discriminatory because women get breast cancer more often, because they have larger mammary glands than men. Men have the same number of mammary glands as women and can get breast cancer, which killed KISS's drummer.
