ZERO Prostate Cancer makes it easy for you with one click! It takes only a minute.

The Prostate-Specific Antigen Screening for High-risk Insured Men (PSA Screening for HIM) Act was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives as H.R. 1826, by Representatives Larry Buschon and Yvette Clarke (D- NY) with Representatives Neal Dunn, M.D. (R-FL) and Troy Carter (D-LA) as original cosponsors.

For the very first time, we now have a Senate companion bill by Senators Cory Booker (D-NJ) and John Boozman (R-AR): S.2821. 

This bipartisan legislative proposal would waive cost-sharing requirements for men with the highest risk of prostate cancer, focusing on Black men and those with a family history of the disease. If the bill passes, men at an increased risk of developing prostate cancer would be able to receive prostate cancer screenings without deductibles, copayments, or coinsurances.

Early detection is critical for positive prostate cancer outcomes: if the disease is caught early, there is a nearly 100% chance of survival. When the disease is caught in its advanced stages, however, the likelihood of survival drops to just 31%.
