Thank you @RepJeffHurd for voting to extend health care #TaxCredits & prioritizing the health & wellbeing of your constituents, including cancer patients. Congress must find a path forward to extend the tax credits so that millions can access lifesaving, affordable care.

[Colorado ACSCAN @ACSCANCO]

Thank you @RepJeffHurd for bringing attention to the need to extend these health care #TaxCredits to protect families, seniors, small business owners & more from massive cost increases. We urge Congress to act now to extend the enhanced tax credits.

[American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network @ACSCAN]

Of the 24 million Americans enrolled in Marketplace plans, more than 22 million rely on health care #TaxCredits to afford coverage. The expiration of the enhanced tax credits at the end of 2025 would send health care costs soaring for millions, including cancer patients. (1/3)

"They just need to see... I'm a real-life person to that bill," Vigil said as a message to lawmakers. "I'm a real story attached. I have the scars. I have the backing of doctors."

Without Medicaid, @acscan volunteer, Jamie couldn’t afford treatment or access her longtime cancer specialists. Her care is ongoing and expensive. She’s alive today because of Medicaid.

Now, Jamie’s using her voice to ask @repjeffhurd and Congress to vote no and #protectmedicaid

@RepJeffHurd We ask that you #ProtectMedicaid by not supporting legislative packages that cut Medicaid.

[Colorado ACSCAN @ACSCANCO]

@RepDianaDeGette thank you for voting no! We appreciate you standing up to #ProtectMedicaid for Coloradans and cancer patients everywhere #Medicaid.

[Colorado ACSCAN @ACSCANCO]

Yesterday @HouseCommerce @EnergyCommerce passed a bill that would make devastating cuts to #Medicaid. @repgabeevans We are extremely disappointed in your vote. Please stand up to #ProtectMedicaid for Coloradans and cancer patients when this bill comes to the floor.

[Colorado ACSCAN @ACSCANCO]

Medicaid cuts put kids with cancer at risk. 1 in 3 children with cancer are covered by Medicaid. They need access to quality, affordable cancer care to survive. Any cuts to Medicaid could jeopardize their chances of survival. @repgabeevans #ProtectMedicaid

[Colorado ACSCAN @ACSCANCO]

Great meeting with @repgabeevans office to discuss @ACSCAN's #CancerAdvocacy. Protecting Medicaid, prioritizing cancer research funding, and increasing access to early detection can help save lives from cancer.

[Colorado ACSCAN @ACSCANCO]

Hi @repgabeevans @ACSCAN volunteers attended a Town Hall on 4/25. Unfortunately, we didn't see you there to ask a question. On behalf of cancer patients, survivors & their families, we want to know if you will prioritize access to care for your constituents and #ProtectMedicaid?

[Colorado ACSCAN @ACSCANCO]

Thank you @RepJeffHurd for publicly stating the importance of #Medicaid for your constituents & for people nationwide in your letter to House Leadership.
Medicaid is a lifeline for cancer patients & all those at risk of developing the disease.
@ACSCAN opposes any cuts to Medicaid

@eluning from @colo_politics takes a deep dive into what two of our lead volunteers, Kris and Sabrina will be asking Congress in this Q&A:

Thank you Representative @YadiraCaraveo for signing @ACSCAN’s #CancerPromise! We appreciate your commitment to support evidence-based public policy solutions to end cancer as we know it, for everyone, if elected. #CancerVotes

[Colorado ACSCAN @ACSCANCO]

.@SenatorHick yesterday we delivered postcards to your office asking for your cosponsorship for the #PSAForHIMAct. The bill ensures more individuals at high risk for #ProstateCancer can get screened, at no cost to the individual. Please join us by cosponsoring the bill.

Rural communities continue to face late-stage #cancer diagnosis & higher mortality rates due to a host of access barriers. However, passage of the Medicare #MCED Screening Coverage Act could address some of those challenges. Thank you to the 60 Senators who have cosponsored this!

[Colorado ACSCAN @ACSCANCO]

The Medicare #MCED Screening Coverage Act reached a monumental milestone w/ 60 Senate cosponsors. We applaud @MikeCrapo @SenatorBennet @SenatorTimScott @SenatorCardin & their Senate colleagues for championing the bill. Congress must pass this bill NOW @LeaderMcConnell @SenSchumer
