 The General Assembly finds and declares that:   (1) Breast cancer, according to the American Cancer Society, is the second leading cause of death among women in the United States;  (2) One (1) American woman in ten (10) will develop breast cancer in her lifetime;  (3) Mammography provides the earliest detection of breast cancer;  (4) Screening using mammography can significantly cut the death rate of women with breast cancer, especially for women with small tumors that have not invaded the lymph nodes and who have a ninety percent (90%) chance of surviving at least five (5) years when such tumors are diagnosed and removed;  (5) Both the American Cancer Society and the National Cancer Institute have developed age and frequency guidelines for mammogram screening, and those guidelines have been incorporated in this subchapter; and  (6) Therefore it is in the best interest for the general health and welfare of the people of the State of Arkansas that legislation be enacted encouraging health insurance coverage for screening mammography.

A patient is usually referred for analysis of palpable abnormalities or for further evaluation of mammographically detected abnormalities. All images are immediately reviewed by the physician interpreting the study, and additional views are obtained as needed. A physical examination of the breast by the interpreting physician to correlate the radiologic findings is often performed as part of the study;  (3) “Mammography” means radiography of the breast; and  (4) “Screening mammography” means a radiologic procedure provided to a woman who has no signs or symptoms of breast cancer for the purpose of early detection of breast cancer. The procedure entails two (2) views of each breast and includes a physician's interpretation of the results of the procedure.

 The General Assembly finds and declares as follows:   (1) Breast cancer is a significant threat to the health of women. Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in women and causes the death of a woman in the United States every twelve (12) minutes;  (2) The incidence of breast cancer continues to increase at a dramatic rate. During the past decade, the incidence has increased by thirty percent (30%). In 1960, one (1) woman in twenty (20) developed breast cancer over the course of her lifetime. By 1992, the probability had increased to one (1) woman in eight (8). At the current rate of increase, in the year 2000, one (1) woman in six (6) will develop breast cancer over the course of her lifetime. Presently, breast cancer claims the lives of over four hundred seventy (470) women in Arkansas each year;  (3) Breast cancer exacts an enormous economic toll on our society, including over two billion dollars ($2,000,000,000) in direct medical costs, and over eight billion dollars ($8,000,000,000) in both direct medical and indirect costs;  (4) Medical experts still do not know the cause of breast cancer or how to prevent breast cancer;  (5) The State of Arkansas must take the lead in combatting the increasingly rapid spread of breast cancer and the current lack of knowledge with respect to breast cancer's cause and cure and effective methods of prevention; and  (6) It is the intent of the General Assembly in enacting this act to fund essential research and services with respect to the cause, cure, detection and prevention of breast cancer, and breast cancer education.
