Attorney General Keith Ellison - you took Juul to the woodshed and delivered justice for the people of Minnesota! Congratulations on your National Distinguished Advocacy Award from American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network! Thanks for joining us for #CancerLobbyDay!

Congratulations to Attorney General Keith Ellison for receiving the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network National Distinguished Advocacy Award for his work to take on Big Tobacco & champion medical debt relief for cancer patients & survivors. AG Ellison, thank you making MN a healthier state for all. #cancerlobbyday

“Cancer is not a partisan issue. It’s a political issue, but it doesn’t have to be a partisan issue.” -@KeithEllison on his commitment to fighting Big Tobacco and his efforts to drive medical debt reform in Minnesota. #CancerLobbyDay

Thanks to jenn patrice (healed version), Remy & Alique for sharing their cancer caregiver & survivor experiences as young adults. I am a YA cancer survivor & often feel isolated in survivorship. I feel connected to each of you & am grateful for your advocacy for our community. #CancerLobbyDay

Back in Minnesota after another American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network #cancerlobbyday and thinking about how lucky I am to work with these incredible volunteers and staff.

Great to see Attorney General Keith Ellison get recognized with American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network's highest honor, the National Distinguished Advocacy Award: fightcancer.org/releases/state…. Thank you for your advocacy to reduce the burden that tobacco and medical debt place on Minnesotans!

Thrilled to present the ACS CAN Minnesota Spirit of Advocacy Award to Rep. @lreyer. This award recognizes her work to improve insurance coverage of biomarker testing, but she’s championed so many other issues that support cancer patients, survivors, & caregivers. #mnleg #acscan

Congress, it’s time to pass a year-end package that includes lifesaving measures for cancer patients and their families.

80 million people in the United States count on #Medicaid for critical, lifesaving health care, including cancer screenings and treatment. (1/2)

Thank you ⁦Karin Housley⁩ for meeting with us today #CancerLobbyDayMN and discussing cancer issues. We discussed how medical debt relief, fertility preservation coverage are important to cancer patients, survivors and caregivers in Minnesota. #mnleg

Extremely disappointed in this week’s House of Representatives vote to approve cuts that could detrimentally impact access to #Medicaid for millions of Americans, including cancer patients. Congress MUST do better. We demand no cuts to Medicaid. Like & share if you're with us.

Today on #CapitolHill, ACS CAN cancer advocates from across the country attended the Senate Appropriations hearing on biomedical research to emphasize the critical need for bipartisan support for medical research in the fight against cancer. #CancerResearch (1/3)

The proposed #Medicaid cuts would result in at least 8.6 million people losing health coverage. That number could jump to 13.7 million by 2034 if the ACA enhanced premium tax credits expire at the end of this year, according to the CBO. #ProtectMedicaid newsweek.com/millions-face-…

It’s plain and simple: Medicaid saved Jenn’s life. Medicaid expansion made it possible for her to get the care needed to survive three recurrences of melanoma. Rep. Betty McCollum, Senator Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith, please, fight to #ProtectMedicaid for people like Jenn.

Congress is considering massive, rushed cuts to Medicaid, which provides health care to over 1.4 million MNs - including cancer patients, survivors, & their families. Attacks on Medicaid are attacks on cancer patients. We can’t let this happen. #protectmedicaid

Tens of thousands of American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network advocates urged the House Energy & Commerce Committee to reconsider Medicaid cuts that impact millions. Despite this, lawmakers who voted for these cuts chose to support the loss of health coverage for those with no other affordable options.

#Medicaid cuts have consequences. Rep. Ilhan Omar, can I count on you to vote NO? These are real lives on the line. Cancer patients, children, seniors, working families & more shouldn't be left without the care they depend on. #ProtectMedicaid

Today POTUS released his final proposed budget for FY26, which slices 26.2% from HHS.gov, including approx.: • 37.2% cut to National Cancer Institute • 40.4% cut to NIH • 53.3% cut to CDC These proposed cuts will lead to more suffering & death from #cancer. fightcancer.org/releases/futur… (1/2)

The most consequential Speaker in state history.

Today, the U.S. Senate passed a bill that will kick nearly 12 million off their health insurance. Senator Amy Klobuchar & Tina Smith, thank you for voting no & standing up to #protectmedicaid for Minnesotans and cancer patients everywhere.
