Uninsured or Medicaid-insured patients are far more likely to be diagnosed with an advanced stage cancer than those with private insurance, according to a new American Cancer Society study of 3.5 million cancer patients with 12 of the most common cancer types.



Claims and evidence: This article cites other statistics which seem to show that persons without insurance have a higher likelihood of developing untreatable forms of cancer.
Author's tone: The text is presented more as a press release, and carries with it heavy bias towards believing the statistics.
Judgment: This article provides a counterweight to the idea that insurance for all is ideal, even thought it didn't plan to do so when it was written. The inclusion of the similar statistics for Medicare patients undermines its basic premise.
Evaluation: This article is not a "good" source, as it is more akin to a newspaper article.
Forecast: I plan to use this article as a counterweight to my belief that a socialized system should be implemented, and to use other statistics to show that even Medicare-insured patients are better off, but that Medicare might not be the way to go.
