Short-Term Limited Duration Insurance Plan Policies and Cancer Stage at Diagnosis
In this cross-sectional study of state-level policies regarding STLD plans and late-stage cancer diagnosis, loosened federal restrictions on STLD plans in 2018 were associated with a net increase in late-stage cancer diagnoses in states without or with inadequate regulatory protections, underscoring the critical role of state policies in regulating STLD plans.
