Ahead of our event in the State House Library on 6/4, ACS CAN and our partners respectfully ask Sen. President @Val_Lawson and Speaker @CBlazejewski to pass S2032 (Zurier) / H7276 (Fogarty).

Thank you!

Hear from a board-certified radiologist on why the @RISenate & @RIHouseofReps must pass S2032 / H7276 this session! This bill would eliminate cost-sharing for vital breast screenings.

“According to the American Cancer Society, the incidence rates of colorectal cancer dropped by 1% every year from 2013 until 2022, but that trend was mostly in older adults. For people younger than 50, however, rates have increased by 2.9% every year in the same time frame.”

Proud to stand with @SenJackReed & @SenWhitehouse & the Protect Our Healthcare Coalition to call for the reinstatement of Enhanced Premium Tax Credits under the ACA, following House passage last week.

It’s time to make premiums more affordable and save our healthcare!

@ACSCAN

[ACS CAN Rhode Island @ACSCANRI]

Cancer research saves lives, and the fight against cancer can't wait. @SenWhitehouse , please pass a full-year spending bill NOW to protect and increase funding for lifesaving cancer research and prevention. Advocates with @acscan need you to #ProtectCancerCures.

[ACS CAN Rhode Island @ACSCANRI]

We're helping @acscan support lifesaving cancer research and prevention funding for cancer patients, survivors, and families. @SenJackReed, we need your help to pass a full-year spending bill that does this. Time is running out to #ProtectCancerCures.
