Take Action in Support of Gail’s Law!
April 30, 2025
We have a bill! LRB-0466 (Gail’s Law) is now circulating for cosponsorships.
This bill will require insurers to provide cost free coverage of diagnostic breast exams and medically necessary supplemental screenings for women determined to be at high risk for developing breast cancer.
Our top priority in the state is seeing this important piece of legislation OVER the finish line this session! Gail’s Law, named for our late friend and colleague Gail Zeamer, will ensure that costs are not a barrier to breast health screenings for high risk women – those with dense breasts, or who have a strong family history or genetic mutation. For high risk women, the bill will eliminate patient cost sharing for necessary supplemental screenings – beyond mammography – using technology that is more appropriate and recommended for a high risk patient. For all women, it will also eliminate cost sharing for follow-up diagnostic tests used to evaluate an abnormality found on screening or examination.
This is what we need now: please call YOUR state senator and representative and ask them to sign on to the bill by May 8.
If your legislators are Sen. Rachael Cabral-Guevara, Sen. Jesse James, Sen. LaTonya Johnson, Rep. Cindi Duchow, Rep. Amanda Nedweski, Rep. Nate Gustafson, or Rep. Lisa Subeck, please THANK THEM for being champions for the bill!
