Campaign Unavailable

We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit Komen Champions for the Cure(TM) - Advocacy Alliance.

The short explanation of this alert was:

Show your support for Cancer Chemotherapy Equality in Wisconsin!

In Wisconsin, 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.

Right now LRB 4490 is before the Wisconsin legislature. This bill would require health insurance plans to provide coverage for oral cancer drugs on a basis no less favorable than the coverage provided for intravenously-administered chemotherapy.

Tell your lawmakers that you support this vital legislation. Send your letters today!
