Today, the U.S. Senate passed a bill that will kick nearly 12 million off their health insurance. @SenAmyKlobuchar & @SenTinaSmith, thank you for voting no & standing up to #protectmedicaid for Minnesotans and cancer patients everywhere.

The most consequential Speaker in state history.

Today POTUS released his final proposed budget for FY26, which slices 26.2% from @HHSGov, including approx.: • 37.2% cut to @theNCI • 40.4% cut to @NIH • 53.3% cut to @CDCgov These proposed cuts will lead to more suffering & death from #cancer. fightcancer.org/releases/futur… (1/2)

#Medicaid cuts have consequences. @Ilhan, can I count on you to vote NO? These are real lives on the line. Cancer patients, children, seniors, working families & more shouldn't be left without the care they depend on. #ProtectMedicaid

Tens of thousands of @ACSCAN advocates urged the House Energy & Commerce Committee to reconsider Medicaid cuts that impact millions. Despite this, lawmakers who voted for these cuts chose to support the loss of health coverage for those with no other affordable options.

It’s plain and simple: Medicaid saved Jenn’s life. Medicaid expansion made it possible for her to get the care needed to survive three recurrences of melanoma. @BettyMcCollum04, @SenAmyKlobuchar and @SenTinaSmith, please, fight to #ProtectMedicaid for people like Jenn.

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/millions-face-…

Congress is considering massive, rushed cuts to Medicaid, which provides health care to over 1.4 million MNs - including cancer patients, survivors, & their families. Attacks on Medicaid are attacks on cancer patients. We can’t let this happen. #protectmedicaid

Today on #CapitolHill, ACS CAN cancer advocates from across the country attended the Senate Appropriations hearing on biomedical research to emphasize the critical need for bipartisan support for medical research in the fight against cancer. #CancerResearch (1/3)

Extremely disappointed in this week’s House of Representatives vote to approve cuts that could detrimentally impact access to #Medicaid for millions of Americans, including cancer patients. Congress MUST do better. We demand no cuts to Medicaid. Like & share if you're with us.

80 million people in the United States count on #Medicaid for critical, lifesaving health care, including cancer screenings and treatment. (1/2)

Thank you ⁦@KarinHousley⁩ for meeting with us today #CancerLobbyDayMN and discussing cancer issues. We discussed how medical debt relief, fertility preservation coverage are important to cancer patients, survivors and caregivers in Minnesota. #mnleg

Congress, it’s time to pass a year-end package that includes lifesaving measures for cancer patients and their families.

Thrilled to present the @ACSCANMN Spirit of Advocacy Award to Rep. @lreyer. This award recognizes her work to improve insurance coverage of biomarker testing, but she’s championed so many other issues that support cancer patients, survivors, & caregivers. #mnleg #acscan

Great to see @AGEllison get recognized with @ACSCAN's highest honor, the National Distinguished Advocacy Award: fightcancer.org/releases/state…. Thank you for your advocacy to reduce the burden that tobacco and medical debt place on Minnesotans!

@jenpackfan @ACSCANMichigan Such a fun, powerful team! Had such a great time with you all.

@ACSCANMichigan making a difference in Washington DC. #CancerLobbyDay

@AGEllison - you took Juul to the woodshed and delivered justice for the people of Minnesota! Congratulations on your National Distinguished Advocacy Award from @ACSCAN! Thanks for joining us for #CancerLobbyDay!

“Cancer is not a partisan issue. It’s a political issue, but it doesn’t have to be a partisan issue.” -@KeithEllison on his commitment to fighting Big Tobacco and his efforts to drive medical debt reform in Minnesota. #CancerLobbyDay

@VoteCavener @ACSCAN Thank you for always being so supportive and encouraging! Grateful to work alongside thoughtful, smart people like you.

@emlywhite @ACSCAN You are my advocacy spirit animal. So good to see you. Thank you for being a transformative force for good!

Back in Minnesota after another @ACSCAN #cancerlobbyday and thinking about how lucky I am to work with these incredible volunteers and staff.

@VoteCavener Hear, hear!

I’m often asked about what I do, I prefer to talk about who I work with; Britta’s enthusiasm for our mission and passion for our volunteers is simply unmatched. I’m so fortunate to call her a colleague and love that she is getting the recognition for her incredible impact.
