The bills (HR 995, HR 1691, HR 1740, and HR 2279 [http://thomas.loc.gov]) proposed such measures as making the length of a hospital stay following breast surgery a medical rather than an insurance issue, requiring insurers that already cover diagnostic mammography to extend coverage for annual screening mammography to women aged 40 years or older, and promoting a public health campaign to make young women aware that they are also at risk for breast cancer.
