Thank you @AbdulElSayed for responding to @ACSCAN’s #CancerVotes question today of where you stand on Access to Health Care! We’re urging all candidates in this race to answer our questions so voters know you’ll prioritize cancer patients if elected.

Kim Dlugoss said getting good care has always been a struggle on Medicaid, but it could get more difficult for patients like her when new Medicaid requirements go into effect. She said she is on disability and is likely exempt. @wilxTV wilx.com/2026/06/04/experts-…

As an ovarian cancer survivor, I’m urging @RepMoolenaar to remain committed to providing increased funding for cancer research and prevention. Cancer remains a leading cause of death in the United States, with more than 2.1 million new cases expected this year alone.

Leah Fall (@medtechleah), advocate w/@acscan. We've all been impacted by cancer. Cancer is one of the highest causes of death in MI and smoking is related to that. If we can decrease those numbers, then we won't lose so many lives to cancer. @WLNS #MIleg youtube.com/watch?v=cyrp-9zE…

“I think the biggest thing is that people know their voice matters. That you’re here sharing, whether it’s your personal story, a friend’s story, those stories are being heard in these offices, & that’s what’s going to make a difference,” said @jenpackfan, @ACSCAN. #MIleg @wilxTV

"On top of fighting cancer, you're trying to figure out how to financially," said Goins, "and I'm a single woman trying to keep a house over my head & pay for bills, plus being between work & having to be off for my chemo treatments." @PNS_MI @PNS_News publicnewsservice.org/story/…

Sen. @stephanielily introduced legislation that would address insurance companies' copay accumulator adjustment programs & ensure Michiganders receive the total value of prescription drug assistance to afford their treatments, improving access to care. fightcancer.org/releases/sen…
