We're sorry, this alert is no longer available.

The short explanation of this alert was:

One more is too many – Close the Gap!

The Wall Street Journal recently highlighted the heart-wrenching story of Shirley Loewe, who was uninsured when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Shirley went to the wrong clinic and was caught in a “legal loophole” that denied Medicaid coverage for her treatment. Sadly, Shirley lost her battle with breast cancer in June. Read the article here.

Please take a moment to take action on behalf of women like Shirley across the country who are being denied life-saving breast cancer treatment based solely on where they were screened. Because of these gaps in our healthcare system, this diagnosis could be much deadlier for racial and ethnic minorities, the poor, and those with little or no health insurance. It's a national shame.

Every woman deserves access to quality breast cancer treatment that can save her life. Surviving breast cancer should not depend on where you live, the color of your skin, or how much money you make. Please help by urging your elected officials to ensure that not one more woman has to endure what Shirley did!
