The Legislature As Wellness Metaphor
We will soon know, as a vote of some sort looms in the State Assembly over a chemotherapy access bill, whether the Legislature and body politic in Wisconsin is well or malignant.
Cancer touches everyone. If you've ever had to have the surgeries, then a mediport installed, go for 4-6 hour sessions of IV chemo weekly for months knows how horrifying and physically challenging the experience can be. And then another surgery is required to remove the port. Call your representative and tell them your story. Put a face on this legislation. Don't let them off the hook.
"Pass SB300 as is, without amendment".
