“Veep” star Julia Louis-Dreyfus has chronicled her breast cancer fight with courage and comedy on social media ― and on Thursday she explained why she went public.

“I think people liked the fact that I had a sense of humor about it, and also I think it’s an important conversation to have about health and health care,” she told host Jimmy Kimmel. “I very much considered the notion that, as someone battling this disease, the idea that I might not have health insurance, which I do thanks to my great union, is completely terrifying.”
