Rep Claudia Tenney正在阻止一项两党法案, 以加速残疾及医疗计划(Medicare)为四级乳腺癌患者提供治疗, Rep. Claudia Tenney is blocking a bipartisan bill to speed up disability and Medicare access for stage-four breast cancer patients, delaying critical benefits for 155,000 Americans.

倡导者说,Rep. Claudia Tenney正在阻止《代名乳癌获得护理法》,这是一项两党法案,将取消社会保障残疾保险的5个月等待期和四级乳腺癌患者医疗保险的24个月延迟期。 Advocates say Rep. Claudia Tenney is blocking the Metastatic Breast Cancer Access to Care Act, a bipartisan bill that would eliminate the five-month wait for Social Security Disability Insurance and 24-month delay for Medicare for stage-four breast cancer patients. 该法案在157个共同赞助者的支持下,旨在为大约155 000名感染该疾病的美国人及时提供福利,他们的平均存活时间为两到四年。 The bill, backed by 157 cosponsors, aims to provide timely benefits for the estimated 155,000 Americans living with the disease, whose average survival is two to four years. 像Jules Netherland这样的病人说,尽管面临严重的健康挑战,财政压力迫使他们继续工作。 Patients like Jules Netherland say financial strain forces them to keep working despite severe health challenges. 维护者称拖延是不人道的,指出对ALS和末期肾病也有类似的立即接触机会,并拒绝缺乏证据的欺诈指控。 Advocates call the delays inhumane, noting similar immediate access exists for ALS and end-stage renal disease, and reject claims of fraud, which lack evidence. 该法案仍然停滞不前,因为更广泛的预算辩论威胁到保健、研究和临床试验的筹资。 The bill remains stalled as broader budget debates threaten funding for healthcare, research, and clinical trials.
