Urges Congress to enact "Find It Early Act."
This resolution urges Congress to pass the "Find It Early Act" (S. 1410), which would require all health insurance plans to cover additional breast cancer screenings - like ultrasounds and MRIs - without cost-sharing for women with dense breasts or other risk factors (such as family history). It directly affects women over 40 with dense breast tissue, who face higher cancer risks and may miss early detection due to mammogram limitations. The key provision would eliminate out-of-pocket costs for these supplemental screenings, improving access to early detection. The resolution emphasizes that early detection significantly boosts survival rates (99% when caught before spreading vs. 30% later). This is a procedural resolution, not a law, seeking to encourage federal action on insurance coverage.
