州长托尼·埃弗斯于2026年3月19日签署了盖尔法,要求威斯康星的医疗保险计划 (包括BadgerCare) 对乳腺组织密度较高或癌症风险更大女性进行超声波和核磁共振等额外的乳房查,从而消除自付费用. Governor Tony Evers signed Gail’s Law on March 19, 2026, requiring Wisconsin health insurance plans, including BadgerCare, to fully cover supplemental breast screenings—such as ultrasounds or MRIs—for women with dense breast tissue or increased cancer risk, eliminating out-of-pocket costs. 该法律以尼纳居民盖尔·齐默 (Gail Zeamer) 的名字命名, 她于2024年死于未被发现的晚期乳腺癌, 旨在通过消除对后续成像技术的财政障碍来改善早期检测. The law, named after Neenah resident Gail Zeamer, who died from undetected late-stage breast cancer in 2024, aims to improve early detection by removing financial barriers to follow-up imaging. 预计将使成千上万的女性受益, 因为近一半40岁以上的妇女有密乳房, 这可以隐藏在标准哺乳镜上的瘤. It takes effect January 1, 2027, and is expected to benefit thousands of women, as nearly half of women over 40 have dense breasts, which can hide tumors on standard mammograms.
