SALT LAKE CITY — Cathy Colledge is undergoing her second round of breast cancer treatments.
Utah Rep. Robert Spendlove, R-Sandy; Rep. Cory Maloy, R-Lehi; and Utah Sen. Jen Plumb, D-Salt Lake City, talked about why the co-pay accumulation bill didn't pass; Maloy included that he misunderstood the bill. Their discussion emphasized, in part, the impact the bill would have had — for less than 25% of the Utah population, SelectHealth insurance spokesman Eric Cannon said.
She wants to make a point to legislators: "Cancer is non-discriminatory. It does not care if you're Republican or Democrat, unaffiliated, Black, white, Hispanic; cancer does not care," Adams-Anderton said. "I want people to be aware that no matter what they're hearing on the news, not everything that could be done is being done," Colledge said. "We, as a society, need to correct that because this is serious business. Cancer is taking really valuable lives, so we need to be focusing on doing more socially, politically, financially, whatever we can do."
