I rise in support of H.R. 4386, this bipartisan bill, which was introduced by our colleagues the gentleman from New York (Mr. Lazio), the gentlewoman from North Carolina (Mrs. Myrick), and the gentlewoman from Missouri (Ms. Danner). This bill would allow States to expand coverage under the Medicaid program to breast and cervical cancer patients who have been screened through the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program. H.R. 4386 will close the gap, as others have already said, left open when the screening program was first created, and it represents an important step forward in the battle against breast and cervical cancer.

Why are we forcing families, businesses, and communities to adjust their schedules every spring and fall? The twice-yearly clock change is a relic of the past that no longer reflects the way Americans live.
