Good news out of #Alabama today, especially as our 2026 Cancer Statistics report shows that prostate cancer incidences continue to increase but screening has contributed to improvements in survival rates. Thank you, Alabama lawmakers!

Scott is a childhood cancer survivor. Research saved his life. Cuts to research and clinical trials will halt progress and innovation in the fight against cancer. @SenThomTillis please protect NIH, NCI, and CDC funding. We need more cures for kids with cancer #ProtectCancerCures

We hope @SenThomTillis is listening to North Carolinians who know the proposed cuts to Medicaid are dangerous and deadly. This is NOT what people want. https://t.co/2nRsVLG2C4

More than 260,000 people in North Carolina are at risk of losing their Medicaid coverage due to a provision in House Republicans’ One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

Read Carrie's story. I hope @ThomTillis does. “I do know I would have delayed care,” Klamut said — realizing, out loud, as she said it, that she then might not be doing the interview. Read more at:

Carrie Klamut found herself without a job for over a year. She didn’t know a tumor was growing inside her colon while she put off getting health care coverage.

Thank you Elizabeth in @SenThomTillis office for mtg with us today. As you heard, access to health coverage is one of the greatest predictors of whether or not someone survives their cancer. #ProtectMedicaid

Carrie's story is one of millions. Her Medicaid coverage gave her access to a screening that caught her colon cancer and then covered her treatment. She is alive today because of Medicaid. We urge @SenThomTillis and Congress to #ProtectMedicaid.
“Medicaid was there for me when I needed it most. It gave me time, options & hope.”Cancer patients rely on Medicaid for health insurance. Without it, their lives could be at risk. @senthomtillis we are counting on you to #ProtectMedicaid.

The proposed #Medicaid cuts would result in at least 8.6 million people losing health coverage. That number could jump to 13.7 million by 2034 if the ACA enhanced premium tax credits expire at the end of this year, according to the CBO. #ProtectMedicaid
newsweek.com
CBO documents reveal that if enacted, the proposed subsidy rollback would strip coverage from millions, particularly hitting low-income adults.

I joined @ACSCANNC cancer advocates at @SenThomTillis 's office today to highlight the importance of #Medicaid for cancer patients. We dropped off over 1,900 petitions from constituents urging Senator Tillis to #ProtectMedicaid from cuts. Do we have your support?

Liberty High School senior Sabrina Bryson wrote a letter in the Pickens County Courier on Take Down Tobacco Day. Sabrina asks @SCSenatePres to add $5 million to the state's tobacco program to combat Big Tobacco's aggressive marketing to kids and save lives.

Thank you to Molly for sharing with @NBCNightlyNews, @gmorgenson & @stephgosk. We call on #SC lawmakers to pass HB3202. “You know you need to go back, and there’s always that looming question: Am I a ticking time bomb, and what is it going to cost me?”
