VERMONT PATIENTS, CAREGIVERS, FRIENDS - TAKE ACTION Coverage Mandate

[Guest guest]

This should be forwarded to as many sources as possible in the hope that patients, caregivers, and friends of patients in Vermont register their dissent with this bill and urge their representatives to vote it down. It is obvious that any who would sponsor the bill have little to no knowledge regarding prostate cancer and the toll it takes on men and families, particularly when diagnosed too late.

H. 602 (Till, W.) - AN ACT RELATING TO ELIMINATING REQUIRED INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR PROSTATE CANCER SCREENING Rep. Till secured more than 10 co-sponsors so far. I share this information in light of the limited membership base of my associations of urologists in that state. Mass regional mobilization/collaboration may be necessary in this post-USPSTF recommendation Test Case.
