(Harrisburg, PA) September marks the start of National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month in the United States.
Statistics show that one in seven Pennsylvanians will be diagnosed with that disease.
Bipartisanship has grown among state lawmakers in western Pennsylvania to support legislation to help lead to early detection of prostate cancer.
The state House version of a bill called House Bill 281, and the state Senate version of a bill called Senate Bill 447, would mandate insurance companies in the state of Pennsylvania to cover the cost of prostate cancer screening regardless of the insurance carrier.
