Thank you @SenatorTimScott for introducing the Clinical Trial Modernization Act! #ClinicalTrials are critical to advancing cancer treatments that can improve survival & quality of life for patients. Cancer advocates in SC are grateful for your bipartisan leadership. #TrialsForAll

[American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network @ACSCAN]

The Clinical Trial Modernization Act was recently introduced in the Senate. The bill would help reduce cost & geographic barriers, making it easier for patients to take part in #ClinicalTrials. This is essential to reducing the cancer burden for everyone. https://t.co/fDHB5w7j62

Big Tobacco is absolutely pushing the vape registry bill moving in the SC House @SCHouseGOP @SCHouseDems It will do nothing to prevent youth from starting tobacco or help adults quit. We have to stop believing the lies from Big Tobacco if we sincerely want to protect children.

@bethbernsteinsc We are concerned about the 300,000 or so South Carolinians who are without healthcare coverage bc our state hasn’t expanded Medicaid. Most of whom are in the work force and providing services to our communities.

We gathered cancer advocates nationwide to share their hope for the future of cancer cures. These hopes can become reality through #CancerResearch.

Every breakthrough in cancer treatment and prevention has started with federal funding. We can't jeopardize progress and undermine decades of momentum. @LindseyGrahamSC , we're urging you to #ProtectCancerCures in the full-year spending bill.

[ACS CAN South Carolina @Acscansc]

@SenatorTimScott , cancer patients, survivors, and families need you to #ProtectCancerCures. Can they count on you to support funding for lifesaving cancer research and prevention programs in the full-year spending bill?

Thank you @SenatorTimScott for signing a July 24 14 member letter to @WHOMB asking for proper disbursement of appropriated FY25 @NIH research funds. This funding is crucial in the fight against cancer nationwide. We hope we can count on you to #ProtectCancerCures in FY26, too.

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.

[American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network @ACSCAN]

The House is expected to vote this week on a bill that would cut #Medicaid by $715 billion & kick 8.6 million people off their insurance.

Send a message to your Rep. & urge them to vote NO.

#CutsHaveConsequences for cancer patients, children & more. https://t.co/ulTIaQQ1Ch
