flag Wisconsin advances Gail’s Law to cover breast cancer screenings for high-risk women, eliminating out-of-pocket costs.

flag Wisconsin lawmakers advanced Gail’s Law, a bipartisan bill to eliminate out-of-pocket costs for supplemental breast cancer screenings for women with dense breast tissue or other high-risk factors. flag The legislation, named after Gail Ziemer who died from undetected breast cancer, passed the state Senate 32-1 and moves to the Assembly. flag It would require insurers to cover MRIs and ultrasounds, crucial for early detection in women where dense tissue hides tumors. flag Supporters say the law could save lives and reduce long-term costs, noting similar laws in 30 other states had minimal impact on premiums. flag Governor Tony Evers plans to sign it if enacted.
