H.R. 1189 will create a national treatment and screening program for colorectal cancer – a program that remains important even in the wake of health care reform. While the recently enacted health care reform legislation will lower the cost of preventive services like colonoscopies for many Americans, the health care reform legislation will not do anything to increase awareness about the importance of early detection and screening. To do that, we need H.R. 1189 enacted.
Today is your chance to help us win the fight against colorectal cancer and make the vision of a national colorectal cancer screening and treatment program a reality. Take five minutes to call Congress and ask your Representative to support H.R. 1189.
