Kahele urges action on breast cancer diagnosis measure
U.S. Rep. Kai Kahele, D-Hawaii, reiterated his support of the Access to Breast Cancer Diagnostics Act of 2021 and called on his Congressional colleagues Monday to help make breast cancer diagnostic tests affordable and accessible to all.
“We know that early detection of breast cancer saves lives,” Kahele said. “Congress must do everything in its power to eliminate barriers to care like costly copays, deductibles and additional out-of-pocket expenses that are often associated with breast cancer diagnostic exams. No one should be denied a potentially life-saving test simply because it is not affordable.”
