Urges Congress to enact "Find It Early Act."
ACR 144 is a New Jersey legislative resolution urging Congress to pass the "Find It Early Act" (H.R. 3086). It specifically calls for requiring all health insurance plans to cover supplemental breast cancer screenings - such as ultrasounds and MRIs - for women with dense breasts or other risk factors (like family history) at no cost to the insured. The resolution highlights that dense breast tissue can hide cancer on standard mammograms, leading to delayed detection, and notes that current insurance gaps force high-risk women to choose between costly out-of-pocket screenings or forgoing them. This resolution does not change law but formally requests federal action to improve access to early detection.
