Patients need the ability to quickly assess their condition with medical professionals to determine the best course of action to treat their health needs. Thanks @PA_Spotlight for talking with me about this important issue. https://t.co/rM1rXTMeOh via @SpotlightPA

No one facing a #cancer diagnosis should be forced to zero out their savings to save their life. It doesn't have to be this way. Congress, pass policies - like #Medicaid expansion and capping Medicare drug costs – to improve patient affordability. @ACSCAN https://t.co/ah6UatvckH

'Even in ventilated casinos, nicotine levels in casino workers are 300 percent to 600 percent higher than employees in other workplaces where smoking is allowed during a work shift, according to the CDC.' #cleartheairpa https://t.co/LXMZXf4ZQn

“Ending cancer as we know it…this is a White House priority, period”, said @POTUS. President Biden— the American Cancer Society stands with you! Together, #NothingCanStopUs #CancerMoonshot @AmericanCancer

Cancer survivors and @acscan volunteers Mariah and Tim make it clear why it’s so important the Senate pass the #BuildBackBetterAct. More affordable health care. And for so many the opportunity to prevent cancer or diagnose it in its earliest stages. https://t.co/LJe55WjBAH

Only one drug has been approved by the FDA specifically to treat postpartum depression.

But to get it, some insurers require women to try — and fail to improve with — other drugs first, and even try electroconvulsive therapy.

There is no risk-free level of exposure to second-hand smoke and due to masking orders, casinos were temporarily smoke free. This was a benefit to public health and it’s disappointing to see smoking return. Thanks @abc27News for the story!

“A potentially life-saving bill that would let doctors prescribe medicines without being stalled or stopped by insurance companies is making headway.” Thanks @abc27News for the story.

We thank @SenatorKristin for tireless support of #SB225, prior authorization and step therapy reform in PA, and we thank @SenatorDiSanto for bringing #SB225 to a committee vote before summer recess. The 14-0 unanimous YES vote today was a great step for patients and providers! 🤝

We’ve taken a major step in the fight to combat copay accumulator programs in PA! PA House joins the Senate as it introduces #HB1664 this week — legislation that would ensure that #AllCopaysCount for patients.

Patient literally died of pulmonary hypertension… we got him back… started a life saving medication … and now that he’s improved to the point of going home, the insurance company has denied the medication because he hasn’t tried and failed an unrelated medication first.
