Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro introduces legislation to require insurance companies to completely cover ultrasounds for women with dense breasts.
DeLauro says she wants to thank Katie Couric for sharing her story.
Couric announced on the Today show earlier this week that she was diagnosed with breast cancer.
She told the Today show she really wants women to get screened.
The state health care advocate says Connecticut is already ahead of the curve in terms of mammogram coverage by insurance.
