The U.S. House of Representatives just voted YES on the year-end spending bill! Thank you @TomColeOK04 for elevating cancer issues in this package to ensure patients, survivors, and families benefit from advances in #CancerResearch, prevention, detection, and treatment.

[American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network @ACSCAN]

The House is expected to vote on a spending bill this week that brings us closer to new treatments, earlier detection & more lives saved from cancer. But only if lawmakers follow through.

We stand with @PreventCancer and 550+ organizations urging #Congress to pass the bipartisan #MCEDAct and expand access to early cancer detection.

We urge @LeaderJohnThune, @SenSchumer, @SpeakerJohnson, and @RepJeffries to advance this bill.

[ACS CAN Oklahoma @ACSCANOK]

Cancer doesn't wait and Congress can't either. @SenatorLankford @SenMullin we're counting on you to push the #MCEDAct across the finish line now!

[American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network @ACSCAN]

The #MCEDAct hit 400 cosponsors today!

As the most-supported bill in Congress, there's overwhelming bipartisan support to get this important legislation over the finish line. 💪

If passed, it could help innovative cancer #EarlyDetection tests reach more people who need them.

“This isn’t about partisanship. It’s about values, community, compassion and responsibility.” Shagah Zakerion, a cancer survivor and Tulsa business owner, could lose the coverage she needs if the enhanced ACA tax credits are not renewed by Congress. https://t.co/VHJFFSL22Q

[American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network @ACSCAN]

Millions can afford health insurance thanks to health care #TaxCredits. But these are set to expire at the end of 2025, which could cause working families & patients to face crushing hikes in costs.

Urge Congress to renew the health care tax credits now⬇️https://t.co/fa1JprgRWi
