Replying to @ACSCAN
Thank you to @SenateApprops @AppropsGOP Chair @SenatorCollins and Vice Chair @PattyMurray, and LHHS Subcommittee Chair @SenCapito and Ranking Member @SenatorBaldwin for holding this hearing and opening the floor to the importance of #CancerResearch funding for @NIH. (2/2)

The cost of health care is already too high for too many. The bill that passed the House would terminate health care for millions & raise health care costs for us all. @SenatorRicketts, @SenatorFischer , vote NO on these attacks. #ProtectMedicaid #ProtectAffordableCare

#Medicaid cuts have consequences. @SenatorFischer and @SenatorRicketts, can we count on you to reject cuts and #ProtectMedicaid? These are real lives on the line. Cancer patients, children, seniors, working families and more shouldn't be left without the care they depend on.

1/3 The House passed a bill cutting Medicaid funding by an est. $715 billion. If approved by the Senate, these cuts will raise health care costs, negatively impact state budgets & deny affordable health care to at least 8.6M people, according to the Congressional Budget Office.

Right now your Nebraska legislators are considering increasing the tax on cigarettes. Use the link below to let your lawmaker know any tax increase less than $1 per pack is unacceptable and that NOW is the time to act to protect kids and save lives! act.fightcancer.org/a/speak-…

Postcards were delivered to lawmakers @RepDonBacon, @USRepMikeFlood, and @RepAdrianSmith urging them to #ProtectMedicaidby voting against any legislation that includes any cuts to this lifesaving program. Cancer patients are counting on you!

8.6 million people, including cancer patients, will lose access to lifesaving health coverage if Congress passes a bill with $715 billion in cuts to #Medicaid. @RepDonBacon, don’t let this happen. Vote NO on any cuts and #ProtectMedicaid.

Thank you @RepDonBacon for publicly stating the importance of #Medicaid for your constituents & for people nationwide in your letter to House Leadership. Medicaid is a lifeline for cancer patients & those at risk of developing the disease. @ACSCAN opposes any cuts to Medicaid.

We applaud the Senate Appropriations Committee on Labor Health & Human Services for increasing federal #CancerResearch & #PalliativeCare funding. Additional funding can continue to lower cancer mortality & make a lasting impact in the fight against cancer. fightcancer.org/releases/sen…
