#Medicaid cuts have consequences. @Ilhan, 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

Tens of thousands of @ACSCAN 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.

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. @BettyMcCollum04, @SenAmyKlobuchar and @SenTinaSmith, please, fight to #ProtectMedicaid for people like Jenn.

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-l…

Millions face losing health insurance under Republican proposal

CBO documents reveal that if enacted, the proposed subsidy rollback would strip coverage from millions, particularly hitting low-income adults.

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

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.

Thrilled to present the @ACSCANMN 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
