SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds the following: 
(1) Colorectal cancer is the second leading 
cause of cancer death among men and women in the 
United States. 
(2) It is estimated that 143,460 new cases of 
colorectal cancer are expected to occur in 2012. 
(3) More than 50,000 people in the United 
States are expected to die from colorectal cancer in 
2012. 
(4) It is estimated that if all precancerous pol-
yps were identified and removed before becoming 
cancerous, estimates show the number of new 
colorectal cancer cases could be reduced by 76 to 90 
percent and deaths could be reduced by 70 to 90 
percent. 
(5) Although colorectal cancer is largely pre-
ventable, one in three adults between the ages of 50 
and 75 are not up to date with recommended 
colorectal cancer screening. 
(6) Two-thirds of colorectal cancer cases are di-
agnosed in patients over the age of 65. 
(7) Colorectal cancer screening colonoscopy is a 
highly effective preventive service, and removing fi-
nancial barriers can help to increase rates of screen-
ing.
