Today POTUS released his final proposed budget for FY26, which slices 26.2% from @HHSGov, including approx.:
• 37.2% cut to @theNCI
• 40.4% cut to @NIH
• 53.3% cut to @CDCgov
These proposed cuts will lead to more suffering & death from #cancer. https://t.co/YhRSUXFxGp (1/2)
#Medicaid cuts have consequences. @SenatorFischer and @SenatorRicketts, can we count on you to reject cuts and #ProtectMedicaid? These are real lives on the line. Cancer patients, children, seniors, working families and more shouldn't be left without the care they depend on.
1/3 The House passed a bill cutting Medicaid funding by an est. $715 billion. If approved by the Senate, these cuts will raise health care costs, negatively impact state budgets & deny affordable health care to at least 8.6M people, according to the Congressional Budget Office.
#Medicaid cuts have consequences. @RepDonBacon, can we count on you to vote NO? These are real lives on the line. Cancer patients, children, seniors, working families and more shouldn't be left without the care they depend on. #ProtectMedicaid
Right now your Nebraska legislators are considering increasing the tax on cigarettes. Use the link below to let your lawmaker know any tax increase less than $1 per pack is unacceptable and that NOW is the time to act to protect kids and save lives!

Postcards were delivered to lawmakers @RepDonBacon, @USRepMikeFlood, and @RepAdrianSmith urging them to #ProtectMedicaidby voting against any legislation that includes any cuts to this lifesaving program. Cancer patients are counting on you!
8.6 million people, including cancer patients, will lose access to lifesaving health coverage if Congress passes a bill with $715 billion in cuts to #Medicaid.
@RepDonBacon, don’t let this happen. Vote NO on any cuts and #ProtectMedicaid.
#Medicaid is still under attack. Nebraskans count on Medicaid for lifesaving health coverage.
Send a message to @RepDonBacon to urge him to vote no on any cuts to this crucial program.

Without biomarker testing, Frank may not be here today. Biomarker testing allowed him to get the right treatment at the right time, and he’s thriving today.
Help @acscanne share Frank's story.
Thank you @RepDonBacon for publicly stating the importance of #Medicaid for your constituents & for people nationwide in your letter to House Leadership.
Medicaid is a lifeline for cancer patients & those at risk of developing the disease.
@ACSCAN opposes any cuts to Medicaid.
We applaud the Senate Appropriations Committee on Labor Health & Human Services for increasing federal #CancerResearch & #PalliativeCare funding. Additional funding can continue to lower cancer mortality & make a lasting impact in the fight against cancer. https://t.co/ardy1RJjEf
