“I urge you to support H.R. 4386, the substitute for H.R. 1070, the Breast and Cervical Cancer Treatment Act, when it comes to the House floor for a vote today. H.R. 4386 is bi-partisan legislation offered by Representatives Myrick (R-NC), Danner (D-MO), and Lazio (R- NY). This legislation is very similar to H.R. 1070, the Breast and Cervical Cancer Treatment Act, offered by Representatives Lazio (R-NY), Eschoo (D-CA), Ros-Lehtinen (R- FL) and Capps (D-CA), one of NBCC's priority issues for the 106th Congress. H.R. 4386 would give states the option of providing Medicaid coverage to low-income women who are screened and diagnosed with breast and cervical cancer through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program.”
