The Wisconsin Senate just passed Gail’s Law! Early detection saves lives, and this is incredible progress to make life-saving breast cancer screenings more accessible and affordable.
Thank your Senator for their support: act.fightcancer.org/a/thank-…

WI advocate Gail Zeamer fought for that state's Density Inform Law and now her family honors her work and legacy but fighting for no-cost supplemental screening for these women. Let's go! 35 other states have already enacted similar laws: densebreast-info.org/legisla…

We are gaining momentum! Recently, the Senate Health Committee passed Gail’s Law - a bill to expand access to early detection breast cancer screenings. Now we need the full Senate's support. Message your Senator today! act.fightcancer.org/a/wi-sen…

In 2017, Wisconsin passed a law requiring women with dense breast tissue to be notified that they may need a supplemental cancer screening. Unfortunately due to the high out-of-pocket costs, many women skip these critical follow ups.
I know, because I am one of these women ⬇️

The Senate Health Committee voted unanimously (5-0) to send Gail’s Law out of committee on Monday. wbay.com/2025/06/03/senate-h…

The cost of treating late stage breast cancer is 200-500% higher than early detection and treatment.
The cost to insurance companies to cover life-saving supplemental screenings? 84 cents per member per year.
Gail’s Law is both cost-saving and life-saving. Let’s get this done

Thank you @WiStateJournal and @LaCrosseTribune for publishing this op-ed on Gail’s law. Testimony yesterday was very much in favor of providing no-cost, life saving services to women in this great state!

On Wednesday, Wisconsin lawmakers were in the State Capitol, trying to push forward a law that would expand coverage for additional screenings for women who have dense breast tissue. wmtv15news.com/2025/05/29/wi…

Great bipartisan launch of “Gail’s Law” to provide additional no cost screening to women with dense breast tissue or a family history of breast cancer. SB 264 honors the memory of cancer advocate Gail Zeamer. @RCGforSenate @RepCindiDuchow @RepNedweski32

Today was a busy but impactful day in Madison as we advocated for increased access to breast cancer screenings for Wisconsin women.
Thank you to all of the champions, survivors, and family members who came out this afternoon to share their stories and advocate for Gail’s Law.

On Monday, I toured ProHealth’s breast imaging clinic in Waukesha to see the incredible work they do.
Nearly 50% of women have dense breast tissue, often needing follow-up scans—but insurance doesn’t have to cover them in WI.
@RepCindiDuchow and I are working to change that.

I am honored to receive the Early Detection Life Saver Award for my efforts to advance life-saving policy that increases access to supplemental and diagnostic imaging for the early detection of breast cancer. Dawn Anderson stopped by the office yesterday to present the award.

Today I was honored to be presented with the "Early Detection Life Saver Award" by @DetectEarlyWI. I am looking ahead to the 2025 Legislative Session to continue the work and get Senate Bill 121 across the finish line.

I'm honored to receive the Early Detection Life Saver Award.
Early detection of cancer is critical to ensuring the best possible outcome. Roughly 5,700 women were diagnosed with breast cancer in WI last year. We must guarantee coverage of screenings. wispolitics.com/2024/early-d…

During my inaugural session, I introduced AB 117 in order to increase access to early detection methods for breast cancer! I am truly honored to receive this award from @detectearlywi! #earlydetectionsaveslives

As Breast Cancer Awareness Month ends, a push to pass a bill to increase access to life-saving breast imaging continues.
After being diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer, Linda Hansen was given 18-24 months to live—that was 13 years ago.
