Colon Cancer Screening Laws Now Cover Half of U.S. Population
Date:3/11/2008

Report Card Initiative began in 2004, 18 states had passed screening legislation. As of 2008, 24 states and the District of Columbia have passed legislation, and there is legislation pending in a number of other states.

"We are making progress, but we are not there yet," said Lisa Paulsen, CEO of the Entertainment Industry Foundation. "The evidence shows that colonoscopies cost less and save lives. The states that do not yet require insurance coverage can help their citizens live longer and healthier lives by enhancing access to lifesaving colonoscopy screening."
