New HHS Office for Men's Health
If enacted, the bill would create an Office of Men's Health inside the Department of Health and Human Services. HHS would have 18 months to set up the office and must consider the GAO study when doing so. The office would coordinate and promote men's health programs and screenings, with emphasis on colorectal cancer, prostate cancer, diabetes, high cholesterol, and mental health screening for men at increased risk. It would also keep a public database of best practices, clinical guidelines, research, and funding opportunities, and HHS would report to Congress within two years of the office opening.
No New Funding Allowed for Office
If enacted, the bill would bar authorizing new funds to carry out the GAO study or the Office of Men's Health. Any money used would have to come from funds already authorized by other laws. The bill would also prevent using amounts authorized for the Office on Women's Health or any other HHS women's health office. This restriction would take effect upon enactment.
