Issue Position: Helping Women Access Health Care

Issue Position

The ability of women to access health care is essential to the economic security of families. When women can address their health care needs, they can keep good-paying jobs and help their kids succeed. Unfortunately, some Lansing legislators have pushed for laws that restrict women's ability to get the quality care they deserve. I've fought for women's ability to get proper health care for themselves and their families, and I'm proud to have introduced House Bill 4260, which would require doctors to notify women if their mammograms detected breast dense tissue -- a condition that both makes cancerous tumors more likely to develop, while also making it harder to detect on a mammogram. Women need complete information to make the best health care decisions possible, and I'm working hard to make sure they get it.
