State of Men’s Health Act

This bill would require the Government Accountability Office to study the state of men's health in the United States and its territories and report to Congress within one year. The report would identify health disparities in men's health, review federal programs, and recommend offices that could be combined into or lead an office on men's health. The bill would also require the Secretary of Health and Human Services to create an Office of Men's Health within 18 months. That office would coordinate men's health programs, including screening for colorectal cancer, prostate cancer, diabetes, high cholesterol, and mental health, and keep a database of best practices and research. No new money would be authorized, and the office could not use funds set aside for women's health offices.
