It’s hard to understate what a big deal this is. 400 Members of Congress are now backing the #MCED Act. Seniors have waited long enough. Congress must advance this legislation without delay in order to fight cancer moving forward. @RepDavid @SenMarkKelly @RubenGallego

It’s rare to find an elected official who DOESN’T support Multi-cancer early detection legislation, as evidenced by the over 400 co-sponsors. Now we need leaders like @RepDavid and @SpeakerJohnson to put it up for a vote!
