Senator introduces bill about metastatic breast cancer

Senator Chris Murphy and Arizona Senator Martha McSally have introduced a bipartisan bill to provide metastatic breast cancer patients access to support and medical care potentially years sooner than under current law.  The measure would waive the 5-month waiting period for Social Security Disability Insurance and the 24-month waiting period for eligible Medicare benefits.  McSally says 90-percent of breast cancer deaths are as a result of metastatic disease, when the cancer spreads to another part of the patient’s body.  The bill is supported by the National Breast Cancer Coalition.
