AN ACT relating to coverage for breast examinations.
Good for everyday people ·
If passed, the bill would make health plans pay for annual mammograms for people aged 40‑49 and remove any co‑pay.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Women in their 40s could get early cancer checks without paying extra, which could catch disease sooner and lower health costs, so the bill matters now.
