Taking a victory lap on Capitol Hill after a GREAT #CancerLobbyDay Love starting the day with these cancer survivors (& thrivers). @ACSCAN@ACSCANCA@ACSCANIN
A great start to the day at #CancerLobbyDay Group run touring the monuments, hearing cancer survivor stories of triumph! Incredibly inspiring ๐ @ACSCAN
I just sent a message to my members of Congress urging them to prioritize the fight against cancer in the next budget bill. Will you join me to help save more lives from cancer? https://t.co/U188aBJp5K
The budget bill under consideration in the U.S. Senate would kick nearly 11 million people off their health insurance and raise health care costs for all of us. @SenSchumer, vote NO to #ProtectMedicaid and #ProtectAffordableCare!

In an even closer finish, Cara Udvadia (3) won the women's division by 5 seconds (53:50) over former UAlbany teammate Amanda Chambers. That's Cara's husband Ryan, the 2023 winner, at right.
Oh BTW, Cara delivered their first child less than 8 months ago.
Growing up, I learned to be generous toward my neighbors, compromise without compromising my values, and to work for the common good.
@KamalaHarris and I both believe in that common good โ in that fundamental promise of America. Weโre ready to fight for it. And like she says: when we fight, we win.
Shame on @CarlHeastie @HeleneWeinstein@AndreaSCousins for going on vacation while cancer patients suffer. Pass the updated paid medical leave bill. Stand up to the $pecial interest$!
The idea that @CarlHeastie and @AndreaSCousins would let state lawmakers go on vacation for the summer without ensuring that improvements are made to New York's paid family and medical leave program is outrageous. They must pass A10561 / S 9840.
So sad @HeleneWeinstein is listening to well funded special interests and killing the paid medical leave bill. Itโs time to stand up for cancer patients and not the special interests. NYers deserve an updated medical leave policy.
The NYS Assembly and
@HeleneWeinstein just pulled the paid medical leave bill from the agenda. It appears that the Assembly is going to go on summer vacation without ensuring that cancer patients can take time off for their cancer treatment. Shame on them! #FightCancerNY
Who is running the State Assembly? Doesnโt seem like @CarlHeastie Mr Speaker, it is time to stand up for NYers. Cancer patients need updated paid medical leave. Be strong. Stand up for cancer patients. @ACSCAN_NY
The Senate voted 54-6 to improve paid medical leave for NYers. Unfortunately, it appears that Speaker @CarlHeastie and @NYSAssembly are going to leave millions of cancer patients without access to paid medical leave, meanwhile they are about to go on paid vacation. Shameful.
โHigh deductible health plans by definition create debt because we know most people donโt have $ in their savings to cover the deductibles.โ These plans should be eliminated. #medicaldebt#cancernationalforum@ACSCAN
@SpecNews1Albany Sad this was not included in the budget while the Gov and Legislative ldrs claim to be concerned with #MedicalDebt. Enact policies like this TDI update that reduce Med Debt to really address the problem.
