While various groups of people hold differing beliefs, I believe that all health insurance companies should cover the cost of psychological and psychiatric care of the family members of cancer patients. Cancer has been an all too prevalent topic in my life, and I have seen first hand the effects that it can have on the sons, daughters, wives, husbands, sisters, and brothers of the patient. It hurts my heart to see how people have so drastically changed their life goals and beliefs due to their experiences with cancer; I believe that if they had had some sort of professional counseling that was covered by insurance, their beliefs would not have been so negatively influenced by cancer. Doctors, nurses, family members, and patients are only some of the people influenced by cancer, and while they are all affected in similar ways, they are also affected in very different ways. The personal ways in which they have been affected by cancer often explain what they believe regarding the emotional care of family members.
