Thank you @RobWittman for voting to extend health care #TaxCredits & prioritizing the health & wellbeing of your constituents, including cancer patients. Congress must find a path forward to extend the tax credits so that millions can access lifesaving, affordable care.

Thank you @Rep_Walkinshaw for helping make the #MCEDAct the most-supported bill in Congress! Grateful that you're championing cancer #EarlyDetection. Take a look at the amazing bipartisan, bicameral support: 323 cosponsors in the House & 63 in the Senate.

Of the 24 million Americans enrolled in Marketplace plans, more than 22 million rely on health care #TaxCredits to afford coverage. The expiration of the enhanced tax credits at the end of 2025 would send health care costs soaring for millions, including cancer patients. (1/3)

Thank you @RepJenKiggans for bringing attention to the need to extend these health care #TaxCredits to protect families, seniors, small business owners & more from massive cost increases. We urge Congress to act now to extend the enhanced tax credits.

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. @SenTimKaine, can we count on you to vote NO? #ProtectAffordableCare #ProtectMedicaid

The president's budget proposal calls for a 37% cut to #CancerResearch funding. If this becomes law, it will have life-threatening consequences. That's why we're fighting back. Send a message to your members of Congress urging them to reject these cuts:

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:

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

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.

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.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Representative @GerryConnolly after his battle with esophageal cancer. A dedicated public servant and advocate, his voice will be missed. We honor his legacy by continuing the fight for cancer patients everywhere. 💜

Medicaid provides essential health coverage to 80 million people across the country, including those with cancer. Any cuts could jeopardize lifesaving care for millions of cancer patients. @RepMcClellan , can we count on you to oppose cuts & #ProtectMedicaid?
