Low-income women would get continued and expanded cancer screenings.
Low-income, uninsured, and underinsured women would get continued and expanded access to breast and cervical cancer screenings. This bill would set aside $235 million each year for five years to keep the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program running. It would also update the program to focus more on prevention and fair access to care.
Today, the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP) provides cancer screenings to millions of low-income, uninsured, or underinsured women, but its funding authorization officially ended in the government's budget year 2011. If this bill becomes law, the program would be reauthorized and receive $235 million each year for the government's budget years 2026 through 2030. The program's goals would also expand to focus more on cancer prevention, fair access to care, and reducing differences in cancer rates, and it would report to Congress every five years instead of annually.
