Increase funding for lifesaving cancer screening programs

Even though U.S. breast and cervical cancer death rates have been declining for several decades, not all people have benefited equally from advances in prevention, early detection, and treatments. LGBTQ+ people are more likely to be uninsured, lack access to health care, and delay health care including critical screenings. 

The NBCCEDP (National Breast & Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program) provides timely access to breast and cervical cancer screening and diagnostic services to low-income, uninsured, and underinsured people in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, 6 U.S. territories, and 13 tribes.
