    Why are we asking Senators: Vote no? Read why the health bill is bad for cancer patients/survivors #KeepUsCovered

    Senate health care bill could harm cancer patients and survivors
    The latest version of the bill released is shockingly worse than earlier drafts and could be devastating to cancer patients and survivors.

    We’re joining 15 other organizations to ask every US Senator to vote NO on #GrahamCassidy. Bill would end pre-ex protections #KeepUsCovered.

    We appreciate #Congress applauding #POTUS comments about ending #cancer. It starts with Congress passing the FY22 budget and increasing funding for lifesaving cancer research. #NIH #NCI #SOTU #CancerMoonshot

    We’re joining health partners to ask President Trump to put kids 1st & prohibit all e-cigarette flavors. FDA delays let the tobacco industry target kids with flavors & addict them to e-cigarettes. The president has the power to tell Big Tobacco our kids’ health isn’t for sale.

    We’re thrilled the President Biden has committed to a huge investment in the fight against cancer. We urge the administration to both prioritize innovation and sustain robust funding for cancer research that has saved countless lives over the last 50 years. #PresidentialAddress

    BREAKING: Today on the 13th anniversary of the #ACA, the North Carolina legislature voted to expand #Medicaid! This is a historic day in the fight against cancer. North Carolina is the 40th state to increase eligibility for Medicaid, which is a lifeline for thousands.
