Department of Defense Breast Cancer Research Program Dear Colleague letter to the Chairman of the Appropriations Defense Subcommittee in support of level funding of $175 million for the Department of Defense Breast Cancer Research Program. Urge enactment of H.R. 1624/S. 913, the Access to Cancer Therapies Act which would provide Medicare coverage of oral anti-cancer drugs. This legislation will build on current Medicare policy by extending coverage to all cancer drugs, whether oral or injectable, for Medicare beneficiaries under Part B. Breast Cancer and Environmental Research Act NBCC urges Congress to enact S. 830/H.R. 1723, the Breast Cancer and Environmental Research Act, which would make grants for multi-institutional, multi-disciplinary research centers to study the potential links between the environment and breast cancer. These centers would award grants based on a competitive, peer-reviewed process that involves consumer advocates. Genetic Nondiscrimination in Health Insurance and Employment Act: NBCC urges Congress to enact H.R. 602/S. 318, the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination in Health Insurance and Employment Act. This legislation, which has strong enforcement mechanisms that include a right to sue, would prohibit health insurers and employers from discriminating based on genetic information. Patients’ Bill of Rights: Patients deserve a comprehensive and enforceable patients’ bill of rights, with a right to sue, that includes coverage for routine health care costs associated with clinical trials; access to the right providers; involvement in treatment decisions that are based on good science; confidentiality of their health information, and the right to receive accurate information about their health plans. NBCC urges Congress to enact H.R. 2563/S. 1052, the Bipartisan Patient Protection Act which reflects these important principles. Medical Privacy Regulations - sent comments to the Department of Health and Human Services.
