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

Today, the U.S. Senate passed a bill that will kick nearly 12 million off their health insurance.

@SenAmyKlobuchar & @SenTinaSmith, thank you for voting no & standing up to #protectmedicaid for Minnesotans and cancer patients everywhere.

[Governor Tim Walz @GovTimWalz]

The most consequential Speaker in state history.

[American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network @ACSCAN]

Today POTUS released his final proposed budget for FY26, which slices 26.2% from @HHSGov, including approx.:

• 37.2% cut to @theNCI
• 40.4% cut to @NIH
• 53.3% cut to @CDCgov

These proposed cuts will lead to more suffering & death from #cancer. https://t.co/YhRSUXFxGp (1/2)

#Medicaid cuts have consequences. @Ilhan, can I count on you to vote NO?
These are real lives on the line. Cancer patients, children, seniors, working families & more shouldn't be left without the care they depend on. #ProtectMedicaid

[Lisa Lacasse @LLacasseACSCAN]

Tens of thousands of @ACSCAN advocates urged the House Energy & Commerce Committee to reconsider Medicaid cuts that impact millions. Despite this, lawmakers who voted for these cuts chose to support the loss of health coverage for those with no other affordable options.

[ACS CAN Minnesota @ACSCANMN]

It’s plain and simple: Medicaid saved Jenn’s life. Medicaid expansion made it possible for her to get the care needed to survive three recurrences of melanoma. @BettyMcCollum04, @SenAmyKlobuchar and @SenTinaSmith, please, fight to #ProtectMedicaid for people like Jenn.

[American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network @ACSCAN]

The proposed #Medicaid cuts would result in at least 8.6 million people losing health coverage.

That number could jump to 13.7 million by 2034 if the ACA enhanced premium tax credits expire at the end of this year, according to the CBO.

[Emily Myatt @emlywhite]

Congress is considering massive, rushed cuts to Medicaid, which provides health care to over 1.4 million MNs - including cancer patients, survivors, & their families.

Attacks on Medicaid are attacks on cancer patients. We can’t let this happen.

Today on #CapitolHill, ACS CAN cancer advocates from across the country attended the Senate Appropriations hearing on biomedical research to emphasize the critical need for bipartisan support for medical research in the fight against cancer. #CancerResearch (1/3)

[American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network @ACSCAN]

Extremely disappointed in this week’s House of Representatives vote to approve cuts that could detrimentally impact access to #Medicaid for millions of Americans, including cancer patients.

Congress MUST do better.

We demand no cuts to Medicaid. Like & share if you're with us.

[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)

[Lois Raboin Conn @LoisRaboin]

Thank you ⁦@KarinHousley⁩ for meeting with us today #CancerLobbyDayMN and discussing cancer issues. We discussed how medical debt relief, fertility preservation coverage are important to cancer patients, survivors and caregivers in Minnesota. #mnleg

[Emily Myatt @emlywhite]

Congress, it’s time to pass a year-end package that includes lifesaving measures for cancer patients and their families.

[American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network @ACSCAN]

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

[Emily Myatt @emlywhite]

Thrilled to present the @ACSCANMN Spirit of Advocacy Award to Rep. @lreyer. This award recognizes her work to improve insurance coverage of biomarker testing, but she’s championed so many other issues that support cancer patients, survivors, & caregivers. #mnleg #acscan

[Michael DuPré @MDFightsCancer]

Great to see @AGEllison get recognized with @ACSCAN's highest honor, the National Distinguished Advocacy Award: https://t.co/hqt1B85X2Q. Thank you for your advocacy to reduce the burden that tobacco and medical debt place on Minnesotans!

[Emily Myatt @emlywhite]

@jenpackfan @ACSCANMichigan Such a fun, powerful team! Had such a great time with you all.

[Jose Ramos @JoseRamos_CA]

@AGEllison - you took Juul to the woodshed and delivered justice for the people of Minnesota! Congratulations on your National Distinguished Advocacy Award from @ACSCAN! Thanks for joining us for #CancerLobbyDay!

“Cancer is not a partisan issue. It’s a political issue, but it doesn’t have to be a partisan issue.” -@KeithEllison on his commitment to fighting Big Tobacco and his efforts to drive medical debt reform in Minnesota. #CancerLobbyDay

[Emily Myatt @emlywhite]

@VoteCavener @ACSCAN Thank you for always being so supportive and encouraging! Grateful to work alongside thoughtful, smart people like you.

[Emily Myatt @emlywhite]

Back in Minnesota after another @ACSCAN #cancerlobbyday and thinking about how lucky I am to work with these incredible volunteers and staff.
