Thanks to her recently acquired Obamacare insurance, an Arizona woman is recovering after having a 47.5-pound tumor removed by doctors.
Doctors found the tumor in 2012, but Marcey DiCaro was unable to pay for the life-saving surgery until recently when she was “finally able to acquire insurance coverage that would cover her preexisting condition through the Affordable Care Act,” as reported by UPI.
The surgery was performed by doctor at the University of Arizona Medical Center, and the medical center released the following statement regarding DiCaro’s story:
“DiCaro, who had no health insurance at the time of diagnosis, had a scan that revealed a large tumor in March 2012…Finally, in 2014, DiCaro was able to acquire insurance coverage that would cover preexisting conditions through the Affordable Care Act. She underwent surgery April 17. By then, surgery had become more complicated with the growth of the tumor and the involvement of other organs.”
