Julia Louis-Dreyfus, the Emmy-winning star of HBOs comedy series Veep, just announced on Instagram that she has been diagnosed with breast cancer. (you can read below her note, which also gives support to universal health care)
Sources say she got the news the day after she won her sixth consecutive lead actress Emmy for the acclaimed HBO comedy and third consecutive best comedy series trophy for the show, which she also executive produces. Her illness is not related to the decision to make the upcoming seventh season of Veep its last, which was made weeks earlier. Veeps writing team will continue to work on scripts for Season 7, whose production will be adjusted to accommodate its star if needed.
Our love and support go out to Julia and her family at this time, HBO said in a statement. We have every confidence she will get through this with her usual tenacity and undaunted spirit, and look forward to her return to health and to HBO for the final season of Veep.

Why did she have to use her announcement as an advertisement for “universal health care”?
Dude...not cool.
“I have great insurance through my union.” BWAAAAH!!! She’s a BILLIONAIRE!
Hey Julia! Why dont you use medicaid for your breast cancer? Tell us then how great universal coverage is.
Hope she can call on her fellow libs to give a damn for her.
I realize she has won multiple Emmys (I believe) for Veep, but this is another show on HBO that is widely hailed and about a thousand people watch.
JLD is and always will be Elaine Benes. Period.
Yes, praying for her recovery.
I loved her in Seinfeld. Since then she has been on a run of foul, lewd, and politically charged shows.
Shell always be Elaine to me.
Yup. Or “Elainey” as Jerry sometimes called her on Seinfeld.
Prayers for her recovery.
Her statement lauded her health insurance through her union. I shit you not.
It’s hilarious that she whines about Universal Health Care. Not only is she wealthy from Hollywood, she comes from a very wealthy family.
"Donny and Marie! Hey, hey, hey, cut it out! Is this how you kids go Hawaiian? Give me a break here!"
Breast cancers comes to every sort of women....it doesnt discriminate
women who have an abortion has a much higher risk of getting breast cancer. (per pro-life data)
They are.Does she admit to having an abortion?
Breast cancers comes to every sort of women....it doesnt discriminate.”
Actually, it does discriminated. According to an Australian study that was covered up years ago, women who have an abortion before they bear a child are something like 80 percent more likely to get breast cancer.
Women who have children young, around 18, are less likely to have breast cancer.
Women who bear children in later life are more likely to get breast cancer than those who have children younger.
Sometimes referred to as the middle class disease due to postponing motherhood the incidence of it is much higher in the blue states.
No but Elaine had to ditch a boyfriend in Seinfeld because he was pro life.
I only know about her from journalism, but I still hope things go well for her.
libs never miss a chance to make something political.
I never watched that show.My daughter just got over breast cancer and our niece just died from it at 33 years old.She was married with a 4 year old girl.It spread to her liver.
Condolences...too too young.
I read that and seriously doubt that she will be using doctors that are on her union plan.
