BREAKING NEWS — In an effort to address a serious health risk
for elderly Americans, Representatives John Shimkus (R-IL),
Gene Green (D-TX), and Ron Lewis (R-KY) have introduced the
Screening Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms Very Efficiently (SAAAVE)
Act (HR 827), an initiative that would direct Medicare to cover
abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) screening. AAA is one of our
nation's most preventable but often neglected conditions taking
approximately 15,000 American lives a year.
