Thank you, @RepChuck, for elevating cancer issues in this package to ensure patients, survivors, and families benefit from advances in #CancerResearch, prevention, detection, and treatment.
The House is expected to vote on a spending bill this week that brings us closer to new treatments, earlier detection & more lives saved from cancer. But only if lawmakers follow through. Send a message to your lawmaker now urging them to pass this bill ⬇️ https://t.co/xhpDJg8C10

“Tax credits that helped nearly 610,000 Tennesseans afford health insurance premiums this year are due to expire in Dec. Thousands could be left without insurance.” TN advocates are asking #Congress to extend these credits at #CancerLobbyDay! @Tennessean

About 610,000 Tennesseans could lose premium tax credits that help pay for their health insurance. The head of Ascension is urging Congress to act.

The U.S. Senate passed a bill that will kick nearly 12 million off health insurance, the majority of whom have #Medicaid. @MarshaBlackburn we are extremely disappointed in your vote. This won't #ProtectMedicaid for Tennesseans & cancer patients who need it for lifesaving care.

The proposed cuts in the budget bill would kick nearly 11 million people off their health insurance, including cancer patients. You can't put a price on people's lives. @SenatorHagerty, can we count on you to vote NO? #ProtectAffordableCare #ProtectMedicaid
