.@CMSGov's rule on #Medicaid work requirements makes it more difficult for people who are medically frail, including #CancerPatients, to be exempt. This adds a burdensome process and risks the loss of health insurance coverage—a matter of life or death. https://t.co/Ne6wanhsqL

Thank you to LHHS Chair @SenCapito and Ranking Member @SenatorBaldwin for your support, and to @NIHDirector_Jay and @NCIDirector for providing testimony.

On behalf of cancer patients and survivors, we’ll keep fighting for continued lifesaving investment in #CancerResearch.

[National Consumers League @ncl_tweets]

This year, more than 2 million people will hear the words 'you have cancer.' The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) helps ensure they have access to the screenings and preventive services that catch cancer early, often before those words are ever spoken. NCL and 59 other orgs joined @ACSCAN in urging Secretary Kennedy to protect the integrity of this critical, science-driven body. https://t.co/rWj57WSC6v

[American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network @ACSCAN]

Today, we joined organizations representing millions of cancer patients, survivors, and providers to send a letter to @HHSGov @SecKennedy about the importance of the #USPSTF in the fight against cancer, urging protection for the integrity of its work. https://t.co/IXEmIl4bSA

[American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network @ACSCAN]

Today, only a fraction of new ideas for how to prevent, treat, and cure cancer are getting the funding they need to move forward.

Members of Congress are working on the next funding bill. Urge them to increase funding for lifesaving #CancerResearch now ⬇️ https://t.co/NnRHcEaRYR

[Association of American Cancer Institutes @AACI_Cancer]

AACI thanks @ACRPDC & @SOCRAnow for recognizing May 20 as #ClinicalTrialsDay and elevating #ClinicalResearch. About 20% of cancer clinical trials fail due to low enrollment, per @ACSCAN. Urge Congress to pass the bipartisan #ClinicalTrialModernizationAct: https://t.co/fZfOwPBFNA
