What’s happening with Metastatic Breast Cancer Access to Care Act?
The Metastatic Breast Cancer Access to Care Act is currently stalled in committee as of March 10, 2025, for the House version and December 10, 2025, for the Senate version. The House Committee on Ways and Means must hold a vote to move the bill forward, but most legislation fails because committees choose not to act on a proposal. This pattern of inaction has persisted since the last recorded committee referral on March 10, 2025.
