Thank you Senator Dick Durbin for highlighting the recent layoffs at FDA Tobacco and the shuttering of CDC's Office of Smoking and Health at today’s Senate appropriations subcommittee. (1/3)

"This will undoubtedly jeopardize public health advancements to reduce #cancer and other chronic diseases by retreating from proven tobacco control efforts." -Lisa Lacasse (2/3)


The House introduced the #ClinicalTrialModernizationAct, which would enable #ClinicalTrial sponsors to provide financial support to patients for costs associated with their trial participation & ensure patients aren’t taxed or penalized for this support. fightcancer.org/releases/new-l…



3/3 Punishing those with serious illnesses like cancer by cutting their health care will only lead to worse health outcomes and increased costs. American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network urges the Senate to reject these harmful cuts and stand up for those who depend on #Medicaid for their survival.

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…
