Supporters noted that although access to routine preventive screening mammograms is currently covered under the Affordable Care Act, this legislation would go further and require coverage for certain screenings and exams currently not uniformly covered by law. “I am grateful to see this legislation, which I have worked on for nearly a decade, move forward,” said sponsor Sen. Joan Lovely (D-Salem). “Early detection of breast cancer saves lives. This legislation makes those diagnostic exams used for early detection accessible and affordable, giving women the vital resources needed to catch breast cancer in its earliest stages.

Michael Rush (D-Boston). “We also know that for one out of every ten women, initial mammogram screenings are not sufficient to detect possible indicators of breast cancer. This legislation passed by the Senate … ensures that all women in the commonwealth have access to the digital breast tomosynthesis and MRI screening they need to catch cancer early without facing financial barriers.” DOWN SYNDROME (S 617) – The Senate approved and sent to the House legislation that would require health insurance companies to provide coverage for the treatment of Down syndrome through speech therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy and applied behavior analysis services. “Every child deserves a fair shot at learning, growing and thriving in their community—and that includes children with Down syndrome,” said sponsor Sen. Julian Cyr (D-Provincetown). “Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) therapy has proven transformative for so many, yet too often, access to this essential support is out of reach for those who need it most. By ensuring insurance coverage for athome ABA therapy, this legislation will make a powerful difference for families across the commonwealth, lifting a burden that has existed for too long. It’s about time we make this gold-standard care accessible to all, so every child has the chance to realize their fullest potential.” An estimated 5,000 people in Massachusetts live with Down syndrome. According to studies performed by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, speech therapy intervention improved decoding skills for word reading and had a positive impact on articulation in children with Down syndrome. APPOINTMENT OF ATTORNEY TO OVERSEE ELECTION DAY PROBLEMS - Acting United States Attorney Joshua Levy appointed Assistant United States Attorney Lucy Sun as the District Election Officer who will oversee the handling of election day criminal complaints, threats of violence to election officials or staff and election fraud efforts. “Every citizen must be able to vote without fear, intimidation or interference and to have that vote counted in a fair and free election,” said Levy. “Similarly, election officials and staff must be able to serve without being subject to unlawful threats of violence. The Department of Justice will always work tirelessly to protect the integrity of the election process.” Anyone who sees a problem can call Levy’s office in Boston at (833) 634-8669. $24.6 MILLION TO IMPROVE FOOD SECURITY AND RESILIENCY – The Healey administration announced $24.6 million in grants to 163 Massachusetts food system enterprises to help sustain Massachusetts’ food production and distribution sectors. “Our food system is an integral part of our economy, our landscape, our culture and public health,” said Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll. “These investments will help ensure that farmers, fishers, schools, distributors and other stakeholders can continue to produce food and that all Massachusetts residents rely on.” “As food producers face growing threats from climate change, the [grant] program helps farmers and fishers build resilience so that they can adapt,” said Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Rebecca Tepper. “From changing weather patterns to new invasive species to worker health concerns, our food producers must constantly innovate to remain sustainable, and we are proud to help them do so.” “As we learned from the COVID pandemic, food insecurity is a real problem in the commonwealth for too many families, said Chair of the Senate Ways and Means Committee Sen. Mike Rodrigues (D-Westport). “I have made addressing this disparity a priority and have worked closely with the Healey-Driscoll administration to help grow and sustain food production for our farming communities in the state.” $7.8 MILLION TO ENHANCE SECURITY AT NONPROFITS – Gov. Healey announced the awarding of federal funds to 56 nonprofits that are at heightened risk of an extremist attack in the Bay State. “These faith-based and community nonprofits play such a critical role in our communities, and we are proud to deliver this funding that will help them implement security measures to keep their residents safe and ensure peace of mind,” said Gov. Healey. “We’re grateful to the Biden-Harris Administration for making this funding available to ensure these organizations can continue to BEACON | SEE PAGE 28 serve those who depend on
