The U.S. Senate will vote any day now on a bill that will kick millions off #Medicaid and increase health care costs for everyone. This could come down to just one or two votes. Send a message to them now urging them to vote NO on these devastating cuts:

The cost of health care is hurting everyone. But instead of working to lower health care costs, Congress is moving a bill forward that will increase costs for everyone, even those with private insurance. #ProtectMedicaid #ProtectAffordableCare (1/2)

⚠️ The proposed cuts in the budget bill go well beyond #Medicaid. They would kick nearly 11 million off health insurance & raise health care costs for everyone. We're encouraged to see so many advocates urging their Senators to vote NO on this bill. #ProtectAffordableCare #ProtectMedicaid (1/2)

Congress is considering a budget proposal that would slash #CancerResearch funding by nearly 40%. Without this funding, the next generation of cancer researchers may never get the chance to develop lifesaving treatments. Send a message to your members of Congress urging them to reject these cuts:

The president's recent budget proposal calls for a 37% cut to #CancerResearch funding. If this proposal becomes law, it will have life-threatening consequences. That's why we're fighting back. Send a message to your members of Congress now urging them to reject these outrageous proposed cuts.

Today POTUS released his final proposed budget for FY26, which slices 25.2% from #HHS, including approx.: • 37.2% cut to #NCI • 40.4% cut to #NIH • 53.3% cut to #CDC This will not only stall scientific breakthroughs but impact our ability to combat the rising incidence of #cancer nationwide. (1/2)

Shagah is a 3-time cancer survivor. The #EnhancedSubsidies passed by Congress made it possible for her to access lifesaving, affordable care. Now, these are at risk. If Congress doesn’t act, they will expire & millions like Shagah will face higher health insurance costs. FightCancer.org/Affordable

Early this morning, the House passed a bill that drastically cuts #Medicaid and will lead to at least 8.6 million people losing their health insurance.

1/3 The House passed a bill cutting Medicaid funding by an est. $715 billion. If approved by the Senate, these cuts will raise health care costs, negatively impact state budgets & deny affordable, quality health care to at least 8.6 million people according to the Congressional Budget Office.

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