Anna Wood, a policy manager for Breast Cancer Care, said the rise in single mothers meant that many with small children and no financial protection were distraught when diagnosed. She said: "It is all very difficult, because many of these women are very young, and have never thought about breast cancer for a moment.

Additionally, independent contractors are considered part of a group practice under incident to billing rules. Where one or more laws or regulations consider independent contractors to be part of a group practice, it is ill-considered to exclude them from a group practice under other provisions. Group practices spend a great deal of time and money in an effort to comply with federal and state laws and regulations.
