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.

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.

3/3 Punishing those with serious illnesses like cancer by cutting their health care will only lead to worse health outcomes and increased costs. American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network urges the Senate to reject these harmful cuts and stand up for those who depend on #Medicaid for their survival.

#Medicaid cuts have consequences. John Kennedy, can we count on you to reject cuts and #ProtectMedicaid? These are real lives on the line. Cancer patients, children, seniors, working families and more shouldn't be left without the care they depend on.

Without #Medicaid, Josh would have faced financial ruin from his cancer diagnosis. Senators are debating a bill that kicks nearly 11 million people off insurance. These cuts will be paid for on the backs of cancer patients like Josh. Urge them to vote NO: act.fightcancer.org/a/tell-your-se…

The proposed cuts in the budget bill would kick nearly 11 million people off their health insurance, including cancer patients. You can't put a price on people's lives. John Kennedy, can we count on you to vote NO? #ProtectAffordableCare #ProtectMedicaid

The U.S. Senate passed a bill that will kick nearly 12 million off health insurance, the majority of whom have #Medicaid. U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. we are extremely disappointed in your vote. This won’t #ProtectMedicaid for Louisianans & cancer patients who need it for lifesaving care.

Thank you to U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. for signing a July 24 14-member letter to Office of Management and Budget 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.
