Professional “We know that early detection of breast cancer saves lives,” said Healey. “This legislation will help ensure that cost is not a barrier for women to get the screenings and care they need.” “Today is the culmination of work I have done for nearly a decade to ensure that all women have access to necessary, and possibly lifesaving, breast cancer screenings,” 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 aff ordable, giving women the vital resources needed to catch breast cancer in its earliest stages.” “This legislation signed into law by Gov. Healey 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 fi nancial barriers,” said Sen. Mike Rush (D-Boston). “The increased access to early detection that this enabled through this legislation will save lives.” “Cost is a known barrier to completing follow up cancer screenings,” Marc Hymovitz, Massachusetts director of government relations for American Cancer Society Action Network. “By eliminating the potential for unexpected costs, we can increase the likelihood of timely, follow up screenings for those who need them — and thus the promise of better health outcomes — for all communities.” HOUSE MEMBERS TO VISIT CUBA — House Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy) and ten other state representatives are headed to Cuba, where part of their mission is to discuss the importance of investing in healthcare systems with public offi cials, hospital staff , researchers and charitable organizations. “I applaud the visit of this important delegation from the Massachusetts House of Representatives to Cuba,” said U.S. Rep.

It will also facilitate critical conversations about how to get muchneeded humanitarian aid to the Cuban people.” “I am a strong believer in the power of diplomatic dialogue and engagement, and I’ve long believed it’s time to rethink America’s failed, cold-war approach to dealing with Cuba,” continued McGovern. “I hope that this visit can serve as an important step in improving relations between our two countries.” All expenses incurred by members traveling on this trip, including expenses related to transportation, lodging and meals, are being funded by each individual member.

TAX CREDIT FOR COMPANIES THAT HIRE NATIONAL GUARD MEMBERS — The Healey administration announced the launch of a new program that would provide a $2,000 tax credit to Massachusetts businesses that hire active members of the National Guard. Supporters said the program aims to increase economic opportunities for members of the Guard and encourage more businesses to hire and retain them. “We are addressing the employment roadblocks active service members face and expanding valuable job opportunities statewide,” said Lt. Gov.
