Early detection saves lives.

That’s why I worked to pass the bipartisan MCED Screening Coverage Act, creating a path for Medicare to cover new multi-cancer screening tests. As a physician, I’ll keep focused on expanding access to early diagnosis.

March is National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, a reminder that early detection saves lives.

I’m proud that my bipartisan Multi-Cancer Early Detection Screening Coverage Act has been signed into law, expanding access to innovative screening technologies that can detect cancers like colorectal cancer earlier, when treatment is most effective.

As a physician, I’ve seen firsthand the difference early detection makes. This law will help save lives and give more families a better chance at beating cancer.

Get Screened!

[Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks, M.D. @RepMMM]

Every woman deserves a fighting chance. This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I’m fighting to make early detection accessible for every family. That’s why I cosponsored the Nancy Gardner Sewell Multi-Cancer Early Detection Screening Coverage Act, because early detection saves lives.

[American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network @ACSCAN]

The #MCEDAct reached a huge milestone last week: 61 supporters in the Senate & 291 in the House!

This is incredible bipartisan support. If passed, the bill could help #EarlyDetection tests reach more people who need them.

We urge Congress to act swiftly & support final passage.

Today, the U.S. Senate passed a bill that will kick nearly 12 million off health insurance, the majority of whom have #Medicaid.
@SenJoniErnst @ChuckGrassley, I’m extremely disappointed in your vote. This won't #ProtectMedicaid for Iowans & cancer patients who need it most.

[Jackie Cale @jackie_cale]

The budget bill under consideration in the U.S. Senate would kick nearly 11 million people off their health insurance and raise health care costs for all of us. @ChuckGrassley, vote NO to #ProtectMedicaid and #ProtectAffordableCare!

[Jackie Cale @jackie_cale]

It’s official: more than half of Congress supports #MCEDAct! It would eliminate red tape & ensure #seniors can access cancer screenings. Congress must pass S. 339/H.R. 842! @LeaderJohnThune @SenSchumer @SpeakerJohnson @SteveScalise @RepJeffries

[Jackie Cale @jackie_cale]

Medicaid provides essential health coverage to 80 million people across the country, including those with cancer. Any cuts could jeopardize care for millions of cancer patients. @joniernst @ChuckGrassley @NunnForCongress , can I count on you to oppose cuts & #ProtectMedicaid?

[Jackie Cale @jackie_cale]

Thank you @ChuckGrassley for cosponsoring the #MCEDAct. This important bipartisan legislation has the potential to make a meaningful difference in the lives of Medicare enrollees & their families by ensuring access to #MCED tests once FDA-approved & clinical benefit is shown.

[Jackie Cale @jackie_cale]

The Nancy Gardner Sewell #MCED Screening Coverage Act has been reintroduced in the House & Senate its time to finally pass this critical bill to support seniors' access to #cancer screening! TY @RepMMM PLS cosponsor @RepFeenstra @RepAshleyHinson @ZachNunn https://t.co/xhnRmzMHvb

[Jackie Cale @jackie_cale]

A truly incredible day for patients! Thank you to @IAGovernor and the Iowa Legislature for prioritizing patients ensuring all Iowans who can benefit from biomarker testing receive coverage. So proud of Team Iowa, our volunteers, and our partners for their dedication! #ialegis

[ACS CAN Iowa @ACSCANIowa]

It is a BIG day for cancer patients in Iowa! @IAGovernor Kim Reynolds just signed the biomarker testing bill into law requiring more insurance plans to cover this game changing testing. Thank you, Governor Reynolds! #IALegis #ACSCAN

[Karen Knudsen, MBA PhD @DrKarenKnudsen]

Incredible news out of Des Moines today: With @IAGovernor Reynolds’ signature, Iowa is now the 16th state to enact @ACSCAN-supported legislation to expand access to biomarker testing. This is a huge win for cancer patients!

[Lisa Lacasse @LLacasseACSCAN]

A BIG day indeed! Thank you to @IAGovernor Reynolds for signing this important legislation into law, allowing more cancer patients to get the biomarker testing they need to get the right treatment at the right time! And great work @ACSCANIowa team! #IAleg

[Jackie Cale @jackie_cale]

@newheightshow how do you keep your water from freezing. Asking while watching this KC game. Do you have water bottle heaters?

[Jackie Cale @jackie_cale]

This session, @ACSCANIowa is calling on the #ialegis to improve coverage of biomarker testing. Iowans deserve access to the right treatment at the right time. Join us in the fight!

[Michael DuPré @MDFightsCancer]

Iowa's cancer burden is too high, legislature must act. See @ACSCANIowa's call to action for #ialegis: https://t.co/8SpbRiPo7H

[ACS CAN Iowa @ACSCANIowa]

You have helped ACS CAN make huge advances in the fight against cancer. That’s why we’re asking you to join us this year at IA’s Cancer Action Day on Feb. 6 to ensure that all cancer patients have access to the latest technology in cancer care. https://t.co/7yW2UIihQe

@thegreatescape Please! I flew all the way from America to support my favorite band @prima__queen and left without a tote!

[Jackie Cale @jackie_cale]

.@ChuckGrassley, I'm working with @ACSCAN to make a difference for cancer patients, survivors & their families. We need your help to prioritize cancer in Congress' year-end package—ending cancer as we know it starts now. Time is running out. #CancerCantWait
