More Illinoisans would have access to preventive cancer measures, if a bill sponsored by State Sen. Julie Morrison (D-Deerfield) becomes law. She says her bill builds on a positive trend.

“Since 1990, cancer mortality rates have dropped 25 percent, and this measure will increase early detection and improve prevention of all types of cancer,” said Morrison. “With this bill, we are moving that needle further in the right direction.”

The bill would require coverage of preventive measures and genetic testing for those with a family history of cancer.

SB 2697 has passed the Senate, 59-0/

The post Help for prevention first appeared on WTAX 93.9FM/1240AM.
