Finding cancer earlier is key to giving patients more treatment options & better outcomes. @GMA highlights an #MCEDtest that identifies 4x more cancers when added to current cancer screenings: https://t.co/Prld1jurTo

OAFP thanks the Oklahoma Supreme Court for protecting the independence of TSET — one of the most successful public health investments in our state’s history.

Prevention works. Independence matters. @OklahomaTSET

ICYMI: the FDA has now approved two separate blood tests to help screen for #Alzheimers this year. We must ensure Medicare policy keeps up with the latest scientific advancements to make these tools accessible and help #EndAlz. @pfcd  https://t.co/6qi9s6EQj9

The #MCEDAct has unprecedented backing because #earlydetection works. With 2/3rds of Congress on board and @WaysMeansCmte markup & @HouseCommerce hearing this week, the path is clear for Congress to act! @repkevinhern

[OK Family Physicians @OKFamilyDocs]

The #MCED Act is vetted, bipartisan & backed by 290+ House & 60 Senate members. Patients can't wait thru more  delays, they need Congress to pass the bill NOW! @SpeakerJohnson @SteveScalise @RepJeffries @LeaderJohnThune @SenSchumer @SenatorLankford @SenMullin

#Medicaid cuts threaten millions of patients. @aafp president-elect @SCNosalMD and former president @AdaStewartMD1 spoke with @Medscape about how family physicians can talk to patients about impending cuts and how to help ensure care continuity. Read more: https://t.co/kxy9flW5b1

[AAFP Advocacy @AAFP_advocacy]

More than 300 family physicians were on Capitol Hill in June to present a united message: Protect #Medicaid, preserve PSLF, reform Medicare payment and restore trust in public health. Read more from @aafp president Dr. Jen Brull: https://t.co/dTIm0HP1sb

[AAFP Advocacy @AAFP_advocacy]

#Medicaid is essential. @aafp board member @dowlerdoc spoke to @Marketplace about how cuts to Medicaid will impact rural North Carolina. The AAFP will continue to advocate for all patients and family physicians. https://t.co/YBuNi52BjT

[Shawn Martin @rshawnm]

I am not sure how you sign this letter on June 24 and vote for the exact same bill on July 3.

"Protecting Medicaid is essential for the vulnerable constituents we were elected to represent. Therefore, we cannot support a final bill that threatens access to coverage or jeopardizes the stability of our hospitals and providers."

[OK Family Physicians @OKFamilyDocs]

Early cancer detection for seniors, especially in rural areas, can't wait! It’s time for Congress to pass H.R. 842/S.339, the most supported healthcare bill in Congress! @LeaderJohnThune @SenSchumer @SpeakerJohnson @SteveScalise @RepJeffries it’s time to pass this bill!

[Markwayne Mullin @SenMullin]

🚨 CANCER CONTROL MONTH: TRUMP & HEGSETH DELIVER FOR MILITARY FAMILIES

April is Cancer Control Month — and President Trump is delivering REAL results. Thanks to his leadership and @SecDef’s focus on the warfighter, @TRICARE now covers multi-cancer early detection blood tests for millions of active-duty service members, military families, and retirees.

This is a major breakthrough for military health. @PeteHegseth is making sure TRICARE beneficiaries have access to cutting-edge tools to catch cancer early — when it's most treatable — and save lives.

I’m proud to co-sponsor the Medicare #MCED Act so seniors can benefit too. Congress should follow President Trump and @SecDef Hegseth’s lead in expanding access.

[OK Family Physicians @OKFamilyDocs]

Congress must prioritize #MCEDAct! It will provide a pathway to coverage through Medicare for the latest cancer screening tools, giving seniors the advantage in the war on cancer! @SenMullin @SpeakerJohnson @RepJeffries @LeaderJohnThune @SenSchumer

[OK Family Physicians @OKFamilyDocs]

#MCED tests are a game-changer for #cancer detection so we are thrilled to see the Nancy Gardner Sewell #MCEDActreintroduced in Congress. Let’s work together to pass this bill in 2025! @SenatorLankford https://t.co/Ms9V8KuKZb

[OK Family Physicians @OKFamilyDocs]

The #MCEDAct is one step closer to reality! With support from nearly 400 members of Congress, including almost the entire Oklahoma delegation it’s clear: expanded cancer screening is a priority for every American. @SpeakerJohnson@RepJeffries @SenSchumer@LeaderMcConnell

[OK Family Physicians @OKFamilyDocs]

@SenMullin as a champion of defeating cancer please do what you can to get this done for Oklahomans and all Americans!

[OK Family Physicians @OKFamilyDocs]

We are so close to passing historic legislation that will allow early cancer screenings for those on Medicare.  We just need a strong final push to get the #MCED Screening Coverage Act  in the end zone.
