Yesterday we attended the @PBPNation health fair! We shared information about @ACSCAN, the work that we do, and urged people to share their stories and take action. #cancer #advocacy

As we work to break down the effects of the bill, join us for a virtual event where you’ll hear from ACS CAN President @LLacasseACSCAN & other experts about the bill, the impact you made, & what happens next. 📌 July 10, 8 pm ET | 5 pm PT ➡️ RSVP: act.fightcancer.org/a/health-care-… (2/2)
.@ACSCAN urges the House to stop this unprecedented attack on access to health care for millions, including cancer patients and survivors. Lives are on the line.
Today, the U.S. Senate passed a bill that will kick nearly 12 million off health coverage—the majority of whom are on #Medicaid—and make it more difficult and expensive to obtain and keep health insurance. The House will vote on the bill later this week. (1/2)
Today, the U.S. Senate passed a bill that will kick nearly 12 mil off health insurance, the majority of whom have #Medicaid. @JerryMoran @RogerMarshallMD, we're disappointed in your vote. This won't #ProtectMedicaid for Kansans & cancer patients who need it for lifesaving care.
This week, Dr. Roy Jensen, former @ACSCAN national board member, had a Letter to the Editor published in the @KansasCityStar calling on @JerryMoran & @RogerMarshallMD to vote NO & reject these harmful cuts to #Medicaid. Check out Dr. Jensen's full letter kansascity.com/.../lett.../ar…

Today we met with staff from @RogerMarshallMD’s Topeka office and voiced our concerns with the #Medicaid cuts, which the U.S. Senate is expected to vote on this weekend. Join us in urging Congress to vote NO on these devastating cuts to Medicaid. act.fightcancer.org/a/now-is-the-t…

The U.S. Senate could vote any day now on a bill that includes the largest cut to #Medicaid in the history of the program. Take one minute and send a message to your lawmakers urging them to vote NO on Medicaid cuts. act.fightcancer.org/a/now-is-the-t… #protectmedicaid #cancer
We had a great meeting w/ staff at @JerryMoran's Olathe office today! Our volunteers shared their stories & talked about the importance of #Medicaid to #cancer patients & survivors. Take 1 minute & join us in urging lawmakers to vote NO on Medicaid cuts.act.fightcancer.org/.../now-is-the…...




The U.S. Senate will vote any day now on a bill that will kick millions off #Medicaid & increase health care costs for everyone. This could come down to just one or two votes. Send a message to them now urging them to vote NO on these devastating cuts: act.fightcancer.org/a/now-is-the-t…
Cancer patients and their families need access to quality, affordable cancer care to survive. Any cuts to affordable health care could jeopardize their chances of survival. @JerryMoran and @RogerMarshallMD, please vote NO. #ProtectAffordableCare #ProtectMedicaid

Thank you Senator @JerryMoran for meeting with @ACSCAN volunteer Matthew Chen from Overland Park, KS yesterday after the @SenateApprops @AppropsGOP LHHS Subcommittee hearing! We appreciate your support of #CancerResearch funding for @NIH.



The U.S. has made strides in medical research on lifesaving treatments and cures – but there’s still more to be done. Today I asked @NIHDirector_Jay about his plans to strengthen NIH’s critical research on Alzeheimer’s, Down syndrome & cancer.
Matthew Chen, a high school student in Overland Park, KS, is calling on @JerryMoran to reject cuts to research funding & #ProtectCancerCures. Join Matthew and send a message to your member of Congress urging them to reject this outrageous budget proposal. bit.ly/45Bw0mw
Over 400,000 Kansans rely on Medicaid for health insurance coverage, including access to timely cancer screenings and treatment. @JerryMoran @RogerMarshallMD can we count on you to #ProtectMedicaid and oppose cuts?
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/senators-rej…
