Portantino<\/span> (D-<span class=\"xn-location\">Burbank<\/span>), would have eliminated barriers to care so that nearly 1 million people with state-regulated health plans could now receive medically necessary diagnostic imaging without any out-of-pocket expenses. These tests are critical in determining if there is a need for a biopsy but can cost hundreds to thousands of dollars,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Molly Guthrie<\/span>, Vice President of Policy and Advocacy at Susan G. Komen.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Komen disagrees with the reasons cited for the veto \u2013 cost and an overstepping of federal screening guidelines as they do not apply to diagnostic imaging \u2013 and believes without this legislation, thousands of women every year will forego diagnostic breast imaging simply because of the cost to them. This life-saving legislation was expected to provide an estimated 2.3 million breast imaging services at no cost to the patient, likely leading to earlier diagnosis and often better outcomes.<i> SB 974<\/i> would have built upon recent success across the country, enabling people in nine states, most recently <span class=\"xn-location\">Georgia<\/span> and <span class=\"xn-location\">Oklahoma<\/span>, to receive more timely treatment for their breast cancer,&#8221; Guthrie said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Komen&#8217;s Center for Public Policy will continue to advocate for policies that ensure fair and equitable access to high-quality breast care for all, no matter their age, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, cancer stage or socio-economic status,&#8221; added Guthrie.<\/p>\n<p>More information about the legislation can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=3662186-1&amp;h=387693101&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.komen.org%2Fnews%2Fcalifornia-diagnostic-bill-2022%2F&amp;a=here\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wcag-arialevel-3\" style=\"display: block; font-size: 1.17em; margin-block-start: 1em; margin-block-end: 1em; margin-inline-start: 0px; margin-inline-end: 0px; font-weight: bold; text-align: left;\" role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"3\"><b><u>About Susan G.
