ACSCAN Massachusetts

Congress just passed the most impactful cancer-fighting bill in years, thanks to advocates like you! Your advocacy made a difference. This bill means more people can be screened for #cancer earlier, get treatment sooner, and have a better chance to survive & thrive. Thank you ❤️

The U.S. House of Representatives just voted YES on the year-end spending bill! Thank you, @RepRichardNeal, for supporting the #MCEDAct and cancer issues to ensure patients, survivors, and families benefit from advances in #CancerResearch, prevention, detection, and treatment.

Thank you @WhipKClark for voting to extend health care #TaxCredits & prioritizing the health & wellbeing of your constituents, including cancer patients. We're grateful you signed the #CancerPromise in 2024 & honored your pledge to make cancer a national priority.

Today we mourn the loss of Rep. Ann-Margaret Ferrante of Gloucester, MA who lost her battle against pancreatic cancer. This week was one to celebrate the advancement of a bill she cosponsored, AN ACT TO REDUCE INCIDENCE AND DEATH FROM PANCREATIC CANCER (H.2432). Now we give thanks for her life and her tireless service to the people of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. May God rest her soul and bless her family & friends. #mapoli @PanCANBoston @ACSCANMA @PanCAN @ACSCANMA @letswinpc

THIS is why Massachusetts must pass AN ACT TO REDUCE INCIDENCE AND DEATH FROM PANCREATIC CANCER (H.2432/S.1484). Pancreatic cancer is already the second deadliest cancer in the Commonwealth! This is a literal matter of life & death, we cannot delay action! The Joint Committee on Public Health & House Committee on Health Care Financing have taken favorable action, now we must turn hope into reality. #mapoli @PanCANBoston @ACSCANMA @MAHealthHosp @PanCAN @ACSCAN @letswinpc @MassGovernor @RonMariano @RepMichlewitz @CarmineLGentile @HannahEKaneMA @Jo_Comerford @MassDems @massgop @BostonGlobe @bostonherald @statehousenews @MASSterList @southcoasttoday @HNNow @WBSM1420 @WSAR1480 @worldpcc @SU2C @worldpancreatic @MassGenBrigham @DanaFarber @umassmemorial @TuftsMedicalCtr @The_BMC @SouthcoastHlth @MedicalHawthorn @BrownUnivHealth @NBC10Boston @wbz @wbznewsradio @WBUR @boston25 @WCVB @7News @FOXProvidence @ABC6 @NBC10 @wpri12 #maleg #mahouse #masen #Cancer #PancreaticCancer

Yesterday @HouseCommerce @EnergyCommerce passed a bill that would make devastating cuts to #Medicaid. @RepLoriTrahan, thank you for voting no! We appreciate you standing up to #ProtectMedicaid for Bay Staters and cancer patients everywhere.

Medicaid cuts put kids with cancer at risk. 1 in 3 children with cancer are covered by Medicaid. They need access to quality, affordable cancer care to survive. Any cuts to Medicaid could jeopardize their chances of survival. @USRepKeating, please #ProtectMedicaid.

Attacks on Medicaid are attacks on cancer patients. We can’t let this happen. @RepLynch, will you stand with us and #ProtectMedicaid?

Medicaid is a lifeline for cancer patients, survivors & their families. @RepPressley, will you oppose cuts & #ProtectMedicaid?

Cancer patients & their families rely on Medicaid for health insurance. Without it, their lives could be at risk. @RepMoulton, your constituents are counting on you to #ProtectMedicaid.
