These proposed cuts in the budget bill will kick nearly 11 million people off their health insurance, including cancer patients in PA. You can't put a price on people's lives. Senator Dave McCormick Congressman Rob Bresnahan Jr. can we count on you to vote NO? #ProtectAffordableCare #ProtectMedicaid

The budget bill under consideration in the U.S. Senate would kick nearly 11 million people off their health insurance and raise health care costs for all of us. Shelley Moore Capito & Senator Jim Justice, vote NO on the bill to #ProtectMedicaid and #ProtectAffordableCare!

It’s clear: cuts to affordable health care will harm cancer patients. Senator Thom Tillis don't let this happen. Vote NO to #ProtectAffordableCare & #ProtectMedicaid.

The cost of health care is hurting everyone. But instead of working to lower health care costs, Congress is moving a bill forward that will increase costs for everyone, even those with private insurance. #ProtectMedicaid #ProtectAffordableCare (1/2)

Cuts have consequences. And the consequences of this bill will be devastating—people across the country, including cancer patients, will live sicker and die sooner. Congress is going too far, too fast, without all the facts. #ProtectMedicaid #ProtectAffordableCare (2/2)

Excellent article from Dr. Joseph Muscato on the impact Medicaid cuts would have on cancer patients. We’re hopeful Josh Hawley and Senator Eric Schmitt will oppose these cuts. #ProtectMedicaid columbiamissourian.com/opinion/guest_…

A major win today in reducing the cancer burden! Any out-of-pocket costs can be a deterrent to accessing proven cancer screening which can be the difference between life and death.

Without Medicaid, American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network volunteer, Jamie couldn’t afford treatment or access her longtime cancer specialists. Her care is ongoing and expensive. She’s alive today because of Medicaid. Now, Jamie’s using her voice to ask Rep. Jeff Hurd and Congress to vote no and #protectmedicaid

“We grew up on Medicaid and SNAP. We know firsthand how challenging it can be for Black people to lead long, healthy lives without access to quality care. Our families feel the disproportionate impacts. We’ve seen loved ones die because of misdiagnoses–or no diagnoses at all.

The House just passed a bill that makes the biggest cut to #Medicaid in history & kicks millions off health coverage. This will have a lasting impact on the fight against cancer. Health care costs will ⬆️& those who need screening/preventive care could have to go without. (1/2)

Unless Congress extends the enhanced premium tax credits, more than 24 million people with Marketplace plans will face higher health insurance costs. And 4.2 million people, many with serious illnesses like cancer, will be left uninsured. Please share to spread the word. (2/2)
