Summary
The WISEWOMAN Expansion Act of 2005 (H.R. 3086) was designed to expand a federal health program that provides low-income, uninsured, or underinsured women with screenings for heart disease, stroke, and other chronic conditions. The bill proposed removing the cap on the number of states eligible for these grants, allowing the program to reach a broader national audience beyond its original pilot locations. Additionally, it sought to increase funding for personalized health counseling and lifestyle interventions to help participants manage risk factors like high blood pressure and obesity.
