Show your support for Cancer Chemotherapy Equality in Colorado!

In Colorado, there is a significant difference in the coverage insurance companies provide for orally administered anti-cancer medications versus coverage for traditional intravenous treatments.

That means the out-of-pocket costs to cancer patients for an oral drug can be significantly higher than what they would pay for a traditional intravenous treatment.

The Colorado House has already passed a bill that would require health insurance plans to provide coverage for oral cancer drugs on terms no less favorable than the coverage provided for intravenously-administered chemotherapy. Now the Colorado Senate has a chance to vote on the same bill.

Health decisions should be made between a patient and his or her doctor. Treatment options are both personal and medical - they should not have to be based on financial factors.

I urge you to support House Bill 10-1202, which would require health insurance plans to provide coverage for oral cancer drugs on terms no less favorable than the coverage provided for intravenously-administered chemotherapy. At the same time, we must ensure that in adopting this policy, health insurers are not allowed to reduce coverage for intravenous therapies. This bill is an important first step in making sure there is no distinction between different forms of life-saving drugs in the fight against cancer and to decrease the out-of-pocket cost to Colorado cancer patients receiving oral chemotherapy.

I hope you will stand with me in supporting this critical legislation, an important step in making sure there is no distinction between different forms of life-saving drugs in the fight against cancer in Colorado.

Sincerely,
