In my opinion, it's not enough for cancer treatments to be "good", they also need to be within an affordable range. The only thing that was said "a few years ago" is how good they were. They were judged to be the best. Nothing was said about cost. Oops!

It seems likely that UHC has made the decision that comparable care can be had elsewhere for less money. When it comes to healthcare, more expensive treatment doesn't always mean that it's better.

A name like "Moffitt" is a brand that has been promoted quite a bit with the result being that they can charge more for their services. But is it worth it? Evidently, UHC doesn't think so. So who do you trust? Is there any proof that Moffitt obtains superior outcomes?
