Summary
The bill amends ERISA so that any group health plan must provide cost‑sharing for oral anticancer medicines on terms no less favorable than for anticancer drugs administered by a health‑care provider. It applies to employees and their dependents who receive coverage through such plans. The goal is to prevent higher out‑of‑pocket costs for oral cancer pills compared with infused treatments.
