Thank you @SenatorTimScott for introducing the Clinical Trial Modernization Act! #ClinicalTrials are critical to advancing cancer treatments that can improve survival & quality of life for patients. Cancer advocates in SC are grateful for your bipartisan leadership. #TrialsForAll
The Clinical Trial Modernization Act was recently introduced in the Senate. The bill would help reduce cost & geographic barriers, making it easier for patients to take part in #ClinicalTrials. This is essential to reducing the cancer burden for everyone. fightcancer.org/releases/bip…

Big Tobacco is absolutely pushing the vape registry bill moving in the SC House @SCHouseGOP @SCHouseDems It will do nothing to prevent youth from starting tobacco or help adults quit. We have to stop believing the lies from Big Tobacco if we sincerely want to protect children.

Every breakthrough in cancer treatment and prevention has started with federal funding. We can't jeopardize progress and undermine decades of momentum. @LindseyGrahamSC , we're urging you to #ProtectCancerCures in the full-year spending bill.

Thank you @SenatorTimScott for signing a July 24 14 member letter to @WHOMB asking for proper disbursement of appropriated FY25 @NIH research funds. This funding is crucial in the fight against cancer nationwide. We hope we can count on you to #ProtectCancerCures in FY26, too.

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 health care to at least 8.6M people, according to the Congressional Budget Office.

The House is expected to vote this week on a bill that would cut #Medicaid by $715 billion & kick 8.6 million people off their insurance.
Send a message to your Rep. & urge them to vote NO.

Yesterday @HouseCommerce and @EnergyCommerce passed a bill that would make devastating cuts to #Medicaid. @RussellFrySC we are disappointed in your vote. Please stand up to #ProtectMedicaid for South Carolinians and cancer patients when this bill comes to the floor.

Medicaid provides essential health coverage to people across the country, including those with cancer. Any cuts to Medicaid could jeopardize lifesaving care for millions of cancer patients. @LindseyGrahamSC, can I count on you to oppose cuts & #ProtectMedicaid?

Attacks on Medicaid are attacks on cancer patients. We can’t let this happen. We are asking @RussellFrySC and @LindseyGrahamSC to stand with us and #ProtectMedicaid
