Boosts research and public education on uterine fibroids, especially for women of color.
This bill would set aside money to boost research into uterine fibroids and create new public education programs. It would also help doctors offer better care and collect data on how Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) cover treatments. This aims to improve how millions of women, especially women of color, are diagnosed and treated for fibroids.
Today, uterine fibroid research is significantly underfunded, receiving about $17 million in 2019, and there are no specific federal programs for public or healthcare provider education on the condition. After this bill, the government would set aside $30 million annually for research from 2026-2030, create public awareness campaigns, and provide updated, evidence-based information to healthcare providers, aiming to improve diagnosis and treatment.
