Joined by several Delaware oncology health-related organizations, Rep. Briggs King unveiled legislation (January 25, 2012) that is designed to increase access to anti-cancer medications for many Delawareans. House Bill 265 is known as the "Delaware Cancer Treatment Access Act." The bill would require insurance companies to make equal reimbursement for intravenous and oral anti-cancer treatments. The bill is supported by several health organizations, including the Medical Society of Delaware, the American Cancer Society and the Delaware Diamond Chapter of the Oncology Nursing Society.
