Thanks to Huntley in the office of @RepKiley for meeting with volunteers of @ACSCAN today. We appreciate Congressman Kiley’s co-sponsorship of MCED and hope he will support our asks for cancer research at NCI, NIH, CDC and ARPA-H, as well as protecting ACA tax credits.
@RepDavidValadao Vote NO on HR1 and stand up for your constituents and the 17 million Americans at risk of losing their healthcare coverage #ProtectMedicaid Millions are watching, can we count on you to vote NO?
Thank you Dolly for visiting @RepYoungKim's office to share your story as a cancer survivor who relies on Medicaid for your health coverage and urging the Representative to #ProtectMedicaid.
Raquel and 195,000+ others in #CD22 rely on Medicaid for their health coverage. @RepDavidValadao please oppose any cuts to Medicaid and increased health care costs and vote NO on the budget bill. Your constituents are counting on you to #ProtectMedicaid & #ProtectAffordableCare
“Without Medi-Cal the consequences for a cancer survivor like me are life-threatening and devasting”. @ACSCANCA advocate, Dolly Lin, shared what #Medicaid cuts mean to her and is urging @RepDavidValadao and @RepYoungKim to #ProtectMedicaid and vote NO on the budget bill.
Medicaid cuts have consequences. Cancer patients could have trouble getting the treatment they need, others could go w/out cancer screenings and preventive treatment that could save lives. @RepYoungKim vote NO on the budget bill and #ProtectMedicaid & #ProtectAffordableCare
This morning’s @CBSSunday segment is a powerful reminder of what’s on the line when #cancerresearch funding is at stake. Top researchers are sounding the alarm. “This is the first time I’ve felt an existential crisis in our ability to make progress.”

Medicaid provides essential health coverage to people across the country, including those with cancer. Any cuts to Medicaid could jeopardize lifesaving care for millions of cancer patients. @RepDavidValadao, can I count on you to oppose cuts & #ProtectMedicaid?
Have you met our incredible LGBTQIA+ & Allies Engagement Group? This passionate group of volunteers advocates for an environment of inclusion, equity & involvement of the LGBTQIA+ community in ACS CAN’s initiatives & campaigns. https://t.co/2wRZeDGufY #PrideMonth (1/3)
Thank you @RepDeSaulnier for voting against the House bill that will decimate #Medicaid & kick 8.6 million people off insurance. Supporting this lifesaving program—& the cancer patients, children & so many more who rely on it for health care—is the right thing to do.
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. @RepDavidValadao will you protect over 500k+ in CA-22 who rely on Medicaid? 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
If cutting #Medicaid makes America healthier, why do the states with the highest uninsured rates also have the worst health outcomes? You can’t build a stronger nation by pulling care from the people who need it most. #CutsHaveConsequences
#Medicaid cuts have consequences. @RepDeSaulnier, can I 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
Today is the 2024 Grassroots Lobby Day with @OVACInfo & @ACSCANCA ! Thank you to @SenAlexPadilla and Anisa Alazraie all for meeting with us & listening to our stories. Your support to increase federal funding for cancer research & prevention programs will save lives.
I'm urging @POTUS to act now and finalize the rules to #ProhibitMenthol, which will help save Black lives from cancer and other deadly diseases. Any further delay sends a message to Big Tobacco that they can continue to target Black communities without repercussions
The @WhiteHouse has an opportunity to reduce cancer diagnoses and deaths by finalizing the proposed rules to end the sale of menthol cigarettes and flavored cigars. @POTUS, take action now. #ProhibitMenthol
We're calling on @POTUS to finalize the FDA's proposed rules to #ProhibitMenthol cigarettes and flavored cigars immediately.
To reach the #CancerMoonshot goals, we must meaningfully address tobacco use. @WHOSTP must act now.
We can't keep these deadly products on the market.
Tobacco is the primary cause of cancer death in the U.S. There's no scientific rationale for continuing to allow the sale of menthol cigarettes and flavored cigars. Join @ACSCAN and our partners as we call on @POTUS to follow the science and #ProhibitMenthol to save lives.
