Expand insurance coverage and reduce barriers for people to receive lung cancer screening tests.
One policy goal, tracked across every bill that has carried it.
What’s happening with Increasing Access to Lung Cancer Screening Act?
The Increasing Access to Lung Cancer Screening Act remains stalled in committee as of June 2026. The House Energy and Commerce and Ways and Means committees must act next to move the bill forward, but most legislation fails to receive a committee vote. This lack of action is the primary constraint, and it follows the standard pattern where the vast majority of bills never reach a floor vote.
