Thank you to @SenCapito for signing this 14-member letter to @WHOMB asking for proper disbursement of appropriated FY25 @NIH research funds. This funding is crucial in the fight against cancer nationwide. We hope we can count on you to #ProtectCancerCures in FY26, too!

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)

Today, the U.S. Senate passed a bill that will kick nearly 12 million off health coverage—the majority of whom are on #Medicaid—and make it more difficult and expensive to obtain and keep health insurance. The House will vote on the bill later this week. (1/2)

"No one is safe from the life-threatening harms this bill inflicts, not even cancer patients. It will increase health care costs for everyone, increase medical debt for families already struggling and undo decades of progress in improving cancer outcomes." -@LLacasseACSCAN (2/2)

The budget bill under consideration in the U.S. Senate this weekend would kick more than 11 million people off their health insurance and raise health care costs for all of us. @SenCapito & @JimJustice_WV, vote NO on the bill to #ProtectMedicaid and #ProtectAffordableCare!

Cuts have consequences! Help us #ProtectMedicaid. Call & email West Virginia’s US Senators & US Reps and tell them not to make cuts to Medicaid!

GOP states are particularly reliant on a program that President Donald Trump and other Republicans have targeted for deep spending reductions.
