"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)

This gives Big Tobacco—which has proven they will lie, cheat & litigate their way out of gov't oversight—almost free rein to sell their deadly products without giving communities the info & resources they need to quit & prevent people, especially youth, from ever starting. (3/3)

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…

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.

2/3 The bill accelerates implementation of work requirements to Dec. 2026, putting vulnerable people at risk of losing coverage in critical moments of their treatment plans. The majority of recipients who can work already do & work requirements have repeatedly failed in states.

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…

Shagah is a 3-time cancer survivor. The #EnhancedSubsidies passed by Congress in 2021 made it possible for her to access lifesaving affordable care. Now, these are at risk. If Congress doesn’t act, they will expire & millions like Shagah will face higher health insurance costs.

The cost of health coverage is out of reach for many Arizonans, which could lead them to delay or skip the care they need. Protecting #Medicaid for Arizonans would help eliminate barriers and allow our neighbors to access affordable, essential care. #ProtectMedicaid
