Take a look at the huge bipartisan support for early cancer detection! @SusieLeeNV , can we count on you to join & cosponsor the #MCEDAct? This critical bill would allow Medicare to cover MCED tests once FDA approved & clinical benefit is shown.

According to a new report, Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans’ “Big Beautiful” Betrayal is projected to cut over $232 MILLION from rural hospitals in Nevada just so they can pay for more tax breaks for billionaires. This will make it harder for Nevada families to access the health care they need, and Nevadans won’t forget it.

This morning’s @CBSSunday segment is a powerful reminder of what’s on the line when #cancerresearch funding is at stake. Top researchers are sounding the alarm. “This is the first time I’ve felt an existential crisis in our ability to make progress.” cbsnews.com/news/when-is-can…

One year ago, @WaysMeansCmte @WaysandMeansGOP voted unanimously to pass the bipartisan #MCEDAct—the most-supported health care bill in Congress—with ACS CAN volunteers in attendance to show their support. We urge Congress to pass this bill to increase #EarlyDetection of cancer.

The president's budget proposal calls for a 37% cut to #CancerResearch funding. If this becomes law, it will have life-threatening consequences. That's why we're fighting back. Send a message to your members of Congress urging them to reject these cuts: act.fightcancer.org/a/congre…

Today the House passed a bill that drastically cuts #Medicaid and will lead to at least 8.6 million people losing health insurance. Health care costs will go up for many who remain insured. But the fight isn't over yet. Urge your Senators to reject cuts: act.fightcancer.org/a/senato…

The result of these proposed Medicaid cuts will be devastating – lives will be lost, and state economies will suffer greatly. Congress, there is simply too much to lose for the millions that rely on Medicaid to prevent, detect, treat and survive cancer.
The House Energy & Commerce Committee released a proposal that would slash #Medicaid funding by $715 billion, with an estimated 8.6 million people losing coverage with no access to affordable health insurance options. We urge members to reject these cuts. fightcancer.org/releases/hou…

With 2 million+ cancer diagnoses expected in the U.S. this year, cancer is a critical health issue that should be addressed at this week's #PresidentialDebate. Help us urge the debate mods to ask the candidates how they plan to address cancer: bit.ly/4bkELk0 #CancerVotes

Almost every one of us has been affected or has had a loved one affected by cancer. I'm grateful for advocates like @ACSCANNevada that are helping Nevadans navigate their treatment, and I will always push for the cancer research and resources our families need.

At the NV State Capitol today w @fruitnveg4life and @ACSCANNevada to tell everyone about AB155 (insurance coverage for biomarker testing). As a #cancer survivor the proper diagnosis is critical and this will be a great tool for many Nevadans. Wish us luck! #biomarkercoverageNV
