What is a man supposed to do who is diagnosed with prostate cancer but has no medical insurance and a low income?
The options are a Veterans Administration Hospital (if a veteran) or a public hospital, such as a county or city hospital. In addition, almost all private hospitals provide low-cost or free care to some patients who have no health insurance and a low income. Men in such a situation can call urology departments of private hospitals to see what options are available. Also, many private hospitals have social work departments and the staff there is trained to help with special needs. Men can ask to see someone in that department for advice.
