Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
More funds for breast and cervical screenings
If enacted, the government would provide $235 million each year for 2026 through 2030 to the national breast and cervical cancer screening program. States, territories, and Tribes could use these grants to expand screening and diagnostic services. If you qualify for the program, you could see more appointment slots and better access to follow-up care, starting in fiscal year 2026.
Broader breast and cervical screening help
If enacted, the program would expand from detection and control to also include prevention. Grantees could fund patient navigation, proven outreach in clinics, and help getting to screening sites. Programs would need to ensure timely follow-up care and use evidence-based screening guidance. It also aims to reduce gaps in access and deaths in higher-risk and hard-to-reach groups.
