SB 1527, which waives cost sharing for secondary cervical cancer screening, has passed the House with unanimous backing. The next step is for the Governor to sign the bill into law. This legislation positions Oregon as a pioneer in cancer screening reform. https://t.co/8PIEB47DkI

Thank you @SenatorRonWyden @SenJeffMerkley @RepDexterOR for leading a roundtable discussion on the devastating Medicaid cuts, affecting Oregonians and all Americans. Cancer patients who rely on lifesaving cancer research, are at risk. We urge you to persist in your efforts.

[ACS CAN Oregon @ACSCANOregon]

The proposed cuts in the budget bill go well beyond Medicaid. This bill would raise health care costs for everyone, even those with private insurance. @SenatorRonWyden and @SenJeffMerkley your constituents are counting on you to #protectaffordablecare and #ProtectMedicaid.

[American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network @ACSCAN]

80 million people in the United States count on #Medicaid for critical, lifesaving health care, including cancer screenings and treatment. (1/2)

[American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network @ACSCAN]

Thrilled to see a wave of ACS CAN volunteers on #CapitolHill today! Our cancer advocates attended the Senate Appropriations LHHS Subcommittee hearing to support the critical need for #CancerResearch funding for @NIH. This is key to ending cancer as we know it, for everyone. (1/2)

Christie shared with @addysbaird from the @sltrib how she could've been impacted by cuts:

“If cuts had taken place, then I would have been left without treatments. My tumor would have kept growing, and, worst case scenario, I would have passed away.”

If Congress goes through with a current bill being proposed, an estimated 11 million people will lose access to their healthcare.

Simply put, this bill is devastating for cancer patients and survivors who depend on their access to healthcare to survive.

This is Christie Sorenson. She survived Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma after being diagnosed at age 23.

She now volunteers with @ACSCANUtah and @ACSCAN and is telling her story to emphasize how important having Medicaid was during her battle...

[ACS CAN Oregon @ACSCANOregon]

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

[ACS CAN Oregon @ACSCANOregon]

Medicaid provides essential health coverage to people across the country, including those with cancer. Any cuts to Medicaid could jeopardize lifesaving care for millions of cancer patients. @repdexteror, can I count on you to oppose cuts & #ProtectMedicaid?

Tomorrow @HouseCommerce will begin markup of a bill that will cut Medicaid, a program that 1 in children w/cancer & 1 in 10 adults w/a history of cancer rely on for health care. @RepBentz this is your chance to #ProtectMedicaid. Oregonians are counting on you.

URGENT: Congress has just days to pass a year-end package, which includes a bill to make multi-cancer #EarlyDetection tests more available.

Last call➡️Send a message to your members of Congress right now urging them to prioritize the fight against cancer. https://t.co/NJBxjQZCUJ

•Cancer touches every family, every community. The time to act is now. Passing the #MCEDAct will save lives. Let’s get this across the finish line this year. @RonWyden RonWyden

[American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network @ACSCAN]

As a 7-time cancer survivor, Kathy knows #EarlyDetection saves lives.

That's why she's urging her Senator @RonWyden to support multi-cancer early detection tests—which can lead to more treatment options & better outcomes.

Join her & urge Congress to act: https://t.co/QQed0e5Dcn
