Bill > HR8565

This bill, the Endometriosis CARE Act, aims to advance research, promote awareness, and provide patient support for endometriosis, a chronic and painful condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus. The bill directs the National Institutes of Health to conduct or support data collection, surveillance, and research related to endometriosis, including efforts to improve treatment options and develop a cure. It also requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to analyze barriers individuals face in accessing treatments for endometriosis symptoms and to develop and disseminate public and provider education on the condition. Additionally, the bill calls for a study on endometriosis disparities by the National Academies to assess prevalence, detection, treatment, and outcome differences based on factors like race, ethnicity, and insurance status.
