Great to be with partners yesterday for a meeting with @GOPMajorityWhip to thank him for the passage of the Nancy Gardner Sewell Medicare Multi-Cancer Early Detection Screening Coverage Act! In the future, this will help more Minnesotans be diagnosed w/ cancer at earlier stages.

Thank you @RepAngieCraig for voting to extend health care #TaxCredits & prioritizing the health & wellbeing of your constituents, including cancer patients.

We're grateful you signed the #CancerPromise in 2024 & honored your pledge to make cancer a national priority.

[ACS CAN Minnesota @ACSCANMN]

Every breakthrough in cancer treatment and prevention has started with federal funding. We can't jeopardize progress m and undermine decades of momentum.

@SenAmyKlobuchar and @SenTinaSmith, we are urging you to #ProtectCancerCures in the full-year spending bill.

[American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network @ACSCAN]

The #MCEDAct hit 400 cosponsors today!

As the most-supported bill in Congress, there's overwhelming bipartisan support to get this important legislation over the finish line. 💪

If passed, it could help innovative cancer #EarlyDetection tests reach more people who need them.

[American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network @ACSCAN]

If the enhanced health care tax credits expire, 20 million+ people in America will face surging health care costs & 4.2 million will be priced out of #HealthInsurance.

We are at Making Strides Against Breast Cancer collecting petition signatures in support of federal funding for cancer research & breast and cervical cancer screening programs.

Research & prevention funding isn't just numbers on a page. It's about real lives.

Federal funding for cancer research is at risk. Congress needs to be reminded this funding isn’t just numbers on a page—it’s about real lives.

The #MCEDAct reached a huge milestone last week: 61 supporters in the Senate & 291 in the House!

This is incredible bipartisan support. If passed, the bill could help #EarlyDetection tests reach more people who need them.

We urge Congress to act swiftly & support final passage.

The House just passed a bill that makes the biggest cut to #Medicaid in history & kicks millions off health coverage.

This will have a lasting impact on the fight against cancer. Health care costs will ⬆️& those who need screening/preventive care could have to go without. (1/2)

[ACS CAN Minnesota @ACSCANMN]

Today, the U.S. Senate passed a bill that will kick nearly 12 million off health insurance, the majority of whom have #Medicaid.

@SenTinaSmith, thank you for voting no. We appreciate you standing up to #ProtectMedicaid for Minnesotans and cancer patients everywhere

"No one is safe from the life-threatening harms this bill inflicts, not even cancer patients. It will increase health care costs for everyone, increase medical debt for families already struggling and undo decades of progress in improving cancer outcomes." -@LLacasseACSCAN (2/2)

[American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network @ACSCAN]

Today, the U.S. Senate passed a bill that will kick nearly 12 million off health coverage—the majority of whom are on #Medicaid—and make it more difficult and expensive to obtain and keep health insurance.

The House will vote on the bill later this week. (1/2)
