30% of all cancer deaths are due to smoking. To reach the #CancerMoonshot goals, we must meaningfully address tobacco use. To do that, President Donald J. Trump must act to end the sale of menthol cigarettes and all flavored cigars. #ProhibitMenthol #PublicHealth #FlavoredCigars #Menthol

kNOw Vape is looking for youth created 90-second vape-bashing video masterpieces to expose the shadowy commercial tobacco marketing tactics behind vaping. Did I mention they could win a portion of the more than $10,000 in prize money being awarded. idahoptv.org/shows/specials…

Congress has the opportunity to take action for Medicare beneficiaries by permitting coverage of #MCED tests. Thanks to Senator Mike Crapo for your leadership and support on the Nancy Gardner Sewell Medicare Screening Coverage Act #MCEDAct. Let’s pass this bill now.

We know that catching cancer in its earliest stages can lead to better health outcomes. This is why Congress must allow Medicare coverage of #MCED tests. Thanks to Senator Mike Crapo who has already stood behind this essential legislation. It’s time to pass this bill. #MCEDAct

Ways and Means Committee voted unanimously to advance bipartisan legislation that has the potential to save countless lives by detecting cancer sooner. Today’s crucial step moves this bill closer to becoming law and providing scores of seniors with the critical care they deserve.

Thanks to Senator Mike Crapo, who is the leading the charge in the Senate to allow Medicare coverage of #MCED tests. Passage of the #MCEDAct could have a profound impact on cancer screening for Medicare beneficiaries. Congress, pass this bill now!

Idaho voters demanded Medicaid expansion. Now it’s under attack, again. State changes + proposed $880B in federal cuts threaten care for 300K+ Idahoans. My op-ed in @IdahoCapSun: It’s time lawmakers listen. idahocapitalsun.com/2025/05/08/as-… #IdPol #ProtectMedicaid #HealthCareAccess

Yesterday Energy and Commerce Committee Energy & Commerce Democrats passed a bill that would make devastating cuts to #Medicaid. Rep. Russ Fulcher, We are extremely disappointed in your vote. Please stand up to #ProtectMedicaid for Idahoans and cancer patients when this bill comes to the floor.

The U.S. Senate could vote any day now on the bill that will kick millions off #Medicaid & increase health care costs for everyone. This is the biggest threat to affordable health care in nearly a decade. Senator Mike Crapo Jim Risch, will you vote NO to stop these devastating cuts

Today, the U.S. Senate passed a bill that will kick nearly 12 million off health insurance, the majority of whom have #Medicaid. Senator Mike Crapo, I'm extremely disappointed in your vote. This won't #ProtectMedicaid for Idahoans & cancer patients who need it for lifesaving care

Today, the U.S. House passed a bill that will strip health coverage from millions & increase health care costs. Congressman Mike Simpson, we’re extremely disappointed in your vote. Idahoans & cancer patients who rely on lifesaving care could be left without insurance.
