Breaking: #MCEDAct just passed @WaysandMeansGOP @WaysMeansCmte unanimously!
Thank you to Chairman @RepJasonSmith and Ranking Member @RepRichardNeal for your support, and to @RepArrington and @RepTeriSewell for introducing this critical legislation. #CancerLobbyDay (1/2)

Congress needs to understand that #CancerResearch funding isn’t just about numbers or budgets—it’s about people.
Every cancer research breakthrough leads to stories. If you’ve been impacted by cancer, record your story now to help save lives: vocalvideo.com/c/ResearchSto…

In 50+ communities across the Dakotas, health centers are making health care accessible to everyone — no matter their income, insurance, or background.
From primary care to advocacy, this is what community care looks like. #NHCW2025 #ValueCHCs

We don’t yet know all of the impacts of the “Big, Beautiful Bill” but we do know the threats to access for health coverage in places like South Dakota. Yesterday I joined @keloland to talk more about it:

2/3 The bill accelerates implementation of work requirements to Dec. 2026, putting vulnerable people at risk of losing coverage in critical moments of their treatment plans. The majority of recipients who can work already do & work requirements have repeatedly failed in states.

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.

It’s @ACSCANSD’s Day at the Capitol in Pierre, SD today! Grateful for our volunteers coming from across the state to advocate on behalf of cancer patients and survivors:

#MCED screening detects cancer early, leading to earlier treatment options and better outcomes. We are glad to stand alongside so many patient advocates in South Dakota advancing efforts to increase cancer screenings.
Multi-Cancer Early Detection is a slam dunk🏀for Medicare enrollees in SD by helping screen for cancer at earlier stages. The #MCED Screening Coverage Act is so close to passage. @SenJohnThune, please help make this landmark legislation a reality, and get it over the finish line.

Late on this, but love this @MakenzieHuber piece on our @ACSCANSD volunteer Doris Cardwell. This legislation saves lives and it's time to get it passed in South Dakota.
“It feels like being punished for wanting to live a good life and catch things early."
South Dakota women who've survived #BreastCancer or are considered high risk say they're saddled with the costs of extra screening, and they want a legislative fix.

.@LLacasseACSCAN closes out #CancerLobbyDay with a message to ACS CAN advocates:
“Your time is so precious and so finite. Please know that we never take for granted the amount of time it takes to be an advocate.”

The U.S. Senate Committee on Appropriations approved its draft FY25 appropriations bill with significant increases for @NIH & an increase for @NCI and @CDC_Cancer. @ACSCAN applauds & appreciates this bipartisan commitment to investment in #CancerResearch. fightcancer.org/releases/sen…

Volunteers were also able to attend a joint Appropriations Committee where the #SouthDakota Department of Health presented current trends in Medicaid and Medicaid Expansion enrollment: – at Pierre, SD

The @ACSCANSD team had a great time meeting with folks like @GovKristiNoem, @LarryRhodenSD, @RepErinHealy, @kameronnelson & many other legislators to share their stories of cancer survivorship & advocating for access to preventative screenings & treatment for all South Dakotans!

Now this is an anniversary worth a BIG celebration! @ACSCAN
So Appreciate Michaela Sieber from @sduih_clinic, Dr. Mary Milroy of Yankton, SD & Carla Graciano Sarinana, our @ACSCAN Grassroots Director for the Dakotas, for sharing their personal stories about why Medicaid Expansion matters for South Dakotans at our 1-year anniversary event:
