California Legislature Passes Perea’s Bill to Provide Access to Cancer Treatments
California Legislature Passes Perea’s Bill to Provide Access to Cancer Treatments – (Sacramento) — Legislation from Assemblymember Henry T. Perea (D-Fresno), Assembly Bill 1000 — the Access to Cancer Treatment Act, has been approved by the California Legislature and its fate is now in the hands of Governor Jerry Brown. Assemblymember Perea says he introduced AB 1000 to insure cancer patients have access to the most appropriate and effective cancer treatments. “Patients who go in for IV chemotherapy pay a co-payment for each visit, but don’t have to pay a separate fee for the IV drug,” Assemblymember Perea said. “On the other hand, many who need anticancer medication in pill form pay as much as 00 a month out-of-pocket.” The Access to Cancer Treatment Act would increase access to oral chemotherapeutic agents by requiring health insurance plans coverage of oral and IV cancer treatments. Here’s more in this Assembly Web Report. ((NOTE: Jere Carpentier, the patient on this video, regrettably passed away of cancer))
