Thanks to @samanthann for her coverage of how the dismantling of access to Medicaid continues and just who it will hurt. kffhealthnews.org/news/artic…

It’s time to pass a health care bill that will save lives, help working Mississippians, and maximize federal funding. Listen to our new radio ad and take action by calling Lt. Gov. Hosemann at 601-359-3200. We can’t wait another year to invest in a healthier Mississippi. #msleg
A fantastic story by @LauraSanthanam at @pbsnewshour on just what's at stake in MS if lawmakers don't increase access to health coverage this session. tinyurl.com/ybbhxjwf
Thank you @nancycordes and @LeteChilds at @CBSMornings for this great coverage of just what #Medicaidexpansion means to people who have previously been forced to go w/o access to care - and what a common-sense policy move it is. Let's close the coverage gap in the last 10 states!
More than 500,000 uninsured people in North Carolina are now getting health care coverage, thanks to a bipartisanship effort years in the making.
@nancycordes spoke with officials on both sides of the aisle in the likely 2024 battleground state about how they built trust.

These new guidelines will help remove cost barriers to potentially lifesaving cancer screenings. @ACSCAN will continue to educate policymakers about the importance of expanding insurance coverage of colorectal cancer screening for those ages 45-49.
New guidelines from US Preventive Services Task Force rec #ColorectalCancer #Screening starting at age 45, consistent with the most recent @AmericanCancer guidelines released in 2018. This will improve access for those ages 45-49 & help save more lives. bit.ly/3bx6l1s

Systemic racism is a public health crisis. We can't ignore the impact it has on BIPOC, including health disparities such as an increased cancer burden. ACS CAN is committed to addressing the structural and persistent barriers that for too long have perpetuated inequity.

12 red states still haven't expanded Medicaid, leaving 2.2 million w/o health coverage. Biden offered massive incentives for those states to adopt the measure in his landmark Covid bill. Many in those states said they're beginning to see opposition weaken. nbcnews.com/politics/politic…

Public policy change is central to our cancer fight. Every American deserves equal access to the democratic process, and laws threatening to erode that access & weaken patients' voices are harmful to our mission. Read @ACSCAN & @AmericanCancer's statement: bit.ly/3cBUu3n

Cancer impacts everyone but it doesn’t affect everyone equally. Thanks to a bill expected to pass in the House today, named in honor of Henrietta Lacks, we can continue reducing health disparities by making clinical trials more inclusive. bit.ly/37MFeNe

This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, don’t let COVID stop you from getting screened. Catching breast cancer in its earliest stages is crucial to survival and recovery. @AliVelshi shares info on low-cost and free screenings.
