At @LLSUSA, patients are our top priority. While government programs like Medicaid are complex, this is black and white: Patient care is not wasteful. #NoHealthcareCuts Retweet if you agree 🔁

Thank you, Governor Tina Kotek, for protecting Oregon patients from the most extreme debt collection practices! This new law #SB605 will allow patients to keep their homes and have reasonable interest rates so they can focus on what matters most: their health ❤

Congress is considering cuts to #Medicaid that would: 🚧 Make it harder for children to get care and catch issues early 🚧 Add red tape barriers for caregivers to keep their health insurance 🚧Threaten the financial viability of children's hospitals #ProtectMedicaidProtectKids

Congress is considering cuts to #Medicaid & CHIP—vital health insurance programs for 37M kids. These cuts would put kids with cancer in danger of falling through the cracks—and make it harder for them to get critical specialty care. #ProtectMedicaidProtectKids

Along with 32 other patient orgs, we responded to a SCOTUS Updates decision that protects patients' access to cost-free preventive care, including cancer screenings. We urge agencies to continue making evidence-based decisions. Full statement 👇🏾 fightcancer.org/releases/more-…

The Senate may vote today on cuts to Medicaid & CHIP, which cover 37M+ kids. These changes would make it easier for children, especially those with serious illnesses, to slip through the cracks. Congress must protect kids by safeguarding #Medicaid. #ProtectMedicaidProtectKids

Today, as the Senate debates a bill that would cause millions to lose their health coverage, DeAnna's experience is a warning to lawmakers: #Medicaid cuts could be a matter of life and death for patients like her. More ⬇️ wsoctv.com/news/local/law… Senator Thom Tillis #NoHealthcareCuts

Last night, Senator Thom Tillis warned his colleagues: “supporting the Senate mark will hurt people who are eligible & qualified for Medicaid.” He’s right: under this bill, not even cancer patients will be exempt from barriers to coverage. We urge Senators: Vote no. #NoHealthcareCuts

We are deeply disheartened that the Senate just passed a bill that represents the largest healthcare cut in history. Blood cancer patients are worried—and for good reason. We urge the House to reject the bill and protect healthcare. Full statement ⬇️ lls.org/news/senate-pa…
