Boozman said the PSA Screening for Him Act is legislation 'we're proud to lead with Senator Booker' to expand insurance coverage for lifesaving screenings for men who are at high risk for prostate cancer.

This shows Boozman actively promoting the bipartisan bill in committee, but it is advocacy rather than proof of enacted access expansion.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Boozman sponsored and actively advocated the bipartisan PSA Screening for HIM Act, including introduction in January 2025 and promotion at a March 2026 HELP Committee hearing, which satisfies meaningful advancement of relevant legislation. However, the record shows the bill remained introduced/referred to committee with no passage or enacted screening-access expansion, so the promised policy outcome was not fully delivered.

Senator Boozman introduced bipartisan legislation (the PSA Screening for HIM Act) and actively advocated for it in committee hearings. However, there is no evidence the bill was passed into law or that access to screenings was actually increased during the term. The record shows significant legislative effort but no delivered policy outcome yet.
