@ncl_tweets CEO says the #340B program has veered wildly off course to the detriment of patients. More here on why #340BReform is needed. https://t.co/PkkCWsSCQ6

[CTD @TxDisabilities]

.@RepArrington’s #MCEDAct – one of the most widely supported bills in Congress – is giving people new hope. More here on @KentRHance podcast.  https://t.co/pV9Bba2SXQ

#340BReform is needed. Lack of transparency in the #340B program creates an environment where financial gains are achieved without providing clear evidence of patient benefit. https://t.co/PYiIwFLhiN

New poll: 54% of voters are less likely to support a candidate who seeks to roll back #vaccine recommendations, even if they agree with them on other issues. https://t.co/bjb0FHdRLo

[CTD @TxDisabilities]

Flaws in design, implementation & oversight of #340B have created incentives for some #healthcare organizations to focus on profits vs. #patient care. #340BReform https://t.co/SIVbKifKlW

Per @breastcancer exec. dir.: “The benefits are clear: detecting #cancer earlier saves lives, reduces suffering, and dramatically cuts treatment costs.” Thank you @RepArrington for bringing early detection closer to reality for Medicare patients. https://t.co/T88nXmPxNs

"Sensible reforms can protect patients while ensuring the U.S. remains the world’s leading engine of medical innovation." @RepNateMoran https://t.co/5ka5fp9JOM

Read how #PBMs and #HealthInsurance companies have turned patient co-pay assistance into a growing profit center for themselves, to the tune of $7 billion just last year. https://t.co/c7SEMTYAao

We thank @RepPfluger’s office for a great meeting to discuss how codifying #MostFavoredNation policy would limit #patientaccess to treatments and cures + hinder continued #biopharma innovation in the U.S.

[CTD @TxDisabilities]

Enjoyed speaking w @RepArrington office yesterday to discuss negative consequences of #MostFavoredNation policy. Codification of #MFN will threaten the development of new, innovative treatments in this country. We thank you for your commitment to protecting #patientaccess!

Concerned about the SAVE America Act and its potential impact on disabled voters and election accessibility? @AAPD spells out what's at stake and how you can take action. https://t.co/o5rvtPbD5w

Today (Friday, Feb. 27) is the LAST day of EARLY #voting in the primaries. The only other chance to vote will be Election Day, Tuesday, Mar. 3.

If you run into access issues at the polls, make sure to call one of these voting hotlines for help!

[CTD @TxDisabilities]

While @FTC took on one of the biggest #PBMs, more oversight is needed. Per #SOTU, Congress and @WhiteHouse must work to address #HealthInsurance tactics that raise drug costs and restrict patient access.

[CTD @TxDisabilities]

There are unintended consequences of #MostFavoredNation drug pricing – access to needed prescriptions will be hampered, and patient choice will be limited. #SOTU

[CTD @TxDisabilities]

Hoping .@POTUS #SOTU tonight will cover the ways to build upon #PBMReform measures so that patients are assured their #Rx costs are predictable and transparent throughout all steps of the process.

"Voting is a fundamental right essential to full & equal participation in American society & that necessarily includes the ability to cast a ballot privately & independently, w/ out fear of disclosing our vote to others or having our ballot tampered with." Norma Crosby, @NFBTX

[Houston Public Media @HoustonPubMedia]

A group of voters, alongside the national Federation of the Blind of Texas, say the only options for them to vote by mail require assistance from someone with sight, preventing them from casting a ballot in private.

[Rep. Jodey Arrington @RepArrington]

I, alongside my colleague @RepTerriSewell, are incredibly proud to announce President Trump has signed into law our bipartisan Nancy Gardner Sewell Medicare Multi-Cancer Early Detection Screening Coverage Act.

This critical law will give seniors access to groundbreaking innovation that will transform the way we treat, diagnose, and prevent cancer.

With over 338 House cosponsors, 60 Senate cosponsors, 500 supporting organizations, and even Dallas Cowboys QB @dak, together, we are unleashing the power of early detection and saving millions of lives.

[CTD @TxDisabilities]

The promise of early cancer detection has just become a reality for patients, with passage of the #MCEDAct! Thank you @RepArrington for leading the charge and building the necessary momentum in Congress to get this done! @RepVeasey @JohnCornyn

⏰ The deadline to register to vote or update your registration for the Primary Election is TODAY, Feb. 2nd! Because of the new USPS postmark rules, you'll need to get your voter registration hand-stamped at the post office, or you can drop it off at your county election office.
