Sen. Diane Feinstein (D-CA) unveiled the "National Cancer Act of 2002," a bipartisan bill that would, among other things, require group health plans to pay for cancer screenings, smoking cessation, nutritional counseling, and genetic testing. The legislation would also require public and private health plans to designate to patients a "cancer quarterback," who would be a doctor in charge of coordinating patient care and guiding patients in making difficult decisions. http://feinstein.senate.gov/Releases02/022702.htm
