The hep B vaccine is the first anti-cancer vaccine—preventing liver cancer by stopping chronic infection. Since newborn vaccination began in the '90s, rates have plummeted. But ~30% of adults remain unvaccinated. We can't go back. @SenFinance, stand strong for #vaccines. Lives depend on it.

The #MCEDAct “is the first and only health care bill to garner majority support in both the House and Senate. That level of bipartisan consensus is almost unheard of. But the job isn’t finished until this bill becomes law.” tinyurl.com/4ahasr79
Something both sides agree on: A bill to prevent late-stage cancer
Against this backdrop, Congress has a rare and urgent opportunity to act.

Last week, @energycommerce.bsky.social held a 26 hour hearing on the Republican’s budget proposal. I introduced an amendment to remove Medicaid work requirements from the bill and prevent millions of Americans from losing their health coverage. Republicans shot it down.
More than 350,000 in San Diego County could be subject to Medi-Cal work rule
Proposal, now under consideration by Congress, would impact beneficiaries who gained coverage through Affordable Care Act expansion

Today, President Trump advised House Republicans not to cut Medicaid – but to be very clear, any and all cuts are unacceptable. Rep David Valadao & Congresswoman Young Kim, we’re counting on you to protect the millions of Americans who rely on the program. #ProtectMedicaid

The #MCEDAct would deliver a win in the fight against cancer. Congress can improve survival rates for millions of Americans by ensuring our country’s most vulnerable have access to the latest advancements in cancer screening technology. Let our voices be heard. It's time to pass HR 842/S339.
