Metastatic Breast Cancer Access to Care Act

The Metastatic Breast Cancer Access to Care Act would waive the mandatory five-month waiting period for Social Security disability benefits and the subsequent 24-month waiting period for Medicare for those under 65 who can no longer work due to Metastatic Breast Cancer. Introduced in Congress for the third time, it is crucial that we, as citizen advocates, raise the profile of this Bill with our legislators and help move it to the floor for a vote. 

Our focus now is the House of Representatives. At the Coalition, we are liaison to seven New York State House offices. Six of the seven congressional members have co-sponsored H.R. 549.
