ICYMI: On Friday, the U.S. Senate passed the #MCEDAct! Thank you @MikeCrapo, @SenatorBennet, @SenatorTimScott & @RonWyden for your leadership. It’s now back before the House, who can bring it over the finish line this week. For more info, visit https://t.co/2BpdHuSBH1.

Thank you @RepRussellFry
@RepJamesClyburn
@RepTimmons @RepJoeWilson
@SenatorTimScott @LindseyGrahamSC for your support of the #MCEDAct & for helping get it passed in the House! This is a huge step forward for seniors & cancer patients. Now we look to the Senate to finish the job!

[SCbio @SCBiotech]

#Earlydetection saves lives. This is a pivotal moment for cancer patients and families across the country. Passing the #MCEDAct would redefine cancer detection. Let’s get this over the finish line now! @SenatorTimScott

The #MCED Act has officially reached 400 bipartisan cosponsors – a landmark moment in the fight for early cancer detection! With overwhelming support across Congress, it’s time to pass this bill. @SenatorTimScott

[Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette @PamelaEvette]

Great to join @SCcommerce's Deputy Secretary Ashley Teasdal, @SCBiotech's President and CEO James Chappell, and @MorganStanley's Jason Russell at Morgan Stanley’s 2nd Annual Bio at the Bluff for a fireside chat on Life Sciences at the Local Level.

South Carolina’s life sciences sector is thriving with innovation and incredible partnerships between our state, business, and research sectors. Together, we’re building an environment where ideas grow, opportunities flourish, and people thrive.

Thank you to Morgan Stanley and all who are helping spotlight the bright future of life sciences in the Palmetto State.

NEW: the #MCEDact is now the most broadly supported bill in Congress, with nearly 400 cosponsors across both chambers. Seniors are counting on @SenatorTimScott to pass this bill and bring meaningful Medicare coverage for #MCED screenings. https://t.co/MZ0s6bdbvW

[American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network @ACSCAN]

Celebrating an incredible milestone: the #MCEDAct is now the most-supported bill in Congress! If passed, it could help #EarlyDetection tests reach more people who need them.

With 386 cosponsors across the House & Senate, there's overwhelming bipartisan support to pass this bill.

[SCbio @SCBiotech]

Big wins in the House last week put the #MCEDAct closer than ever to becoming law. The Senate has the chance to finish the job and deliver access to #MCED technologies for patients everywhere! @SenatorTimScott

[American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network @ACSCAN]

#EarlyDetection can improve access to cancer screenings, health outcomes, and bend the curve on the cost of health care—all of which can save more lives. That’s why it’s critical for Congress to get the #MCEDAct over the finish line before the end of this year. (1/3)

@SpeakerJohnson @SteveScalise @RepJeffries @LeaderJohnThune @SenSchumer

[SCbio @SCBiotech]

Another Milestone reached: 290+ House cosponsors, a stunning 2/3rds of the House. The #MCED Act is Congress's most widely backed health care bill. Patients, families & advocates urge Congress to pass it now. Every day matters in the fight against cancer.

[Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette @PamelaEvette]

Last week, I had the incredible fortune to tour Poly-Med's Piedmont, SC location and hear from their leadership team + @SCBiotech.

This organization is making incredible advances in the development and production of medical devices that span the healthcare industry from sutures, to orthopedic implants, to cutting-edge cancer treating applications.

Thank you for your commitment to continuous innovation and helping us spread S.C.'s life-saving fingerprints across the globe.

[SCbio @SCBiotech]

This is the moment. The #MCED Act is the most popular health care bill in both chambers – backed by Democrats & Republicans, doctors & patients alike. Cancer won’t wait. Neither should Congress. @SpeakerJohnson @SteveScalise @RepJeffries @LeaderJohnThune @SenSchumer

[Senator Tim Scott @SenatorTimScott]

Over 30% of South Carolinians live in a rural community, and those who live in rural areas often experience worse health. To help bridge the gap between rural communities and access to high-quality care, @GOPHELP unanimously passed my bill, the Improving Care in Rural America Reauthorization Act.

[SCbio @SCBiotech]

Great news: The #MCEDAct is the most supported healthcare bill in Congress. Backed by a majority in both chambers – 231 Reps, 51 Sens. Now it’s time for @LeaderJohnThune @SenSchumer @SpeakerJohnson @SteveScalise @RepJeffries to act. Seniors are counting on you.

Now is the time to pass the #MCEDAct. We’re one of the 550+ stakeholders across the country who’ve been asking our Congressional leaders to join us in the battle to fight cancer by passing this legislation that will expand access to #earlydetection tests. @SpeakerJohnson

[American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network @ACSCAN]

The #MCEDAct is an urgent priority for the cancer community. Access to early detection can save lives. We ask @SpeakerJohnson @SteveScalise @RepJeffries @LeaderJohnThune @SenSchumer to pass this crucial legislation now.
