The Senate is expected to vote within the next few days on legislation that would slash #Medicaid funding. Cancer patients will pay the price.

Send a message to your Senators now urging them to vote no on cuts to Medicaid. We need to remind them that any cuts put cancer patients at risk.
Massive, rushed cuts to Medicaid will harm cancer patients

sometimes I think I'm an extrovert because I love talking to people and being social but I will then immediately be exhausted and anxious and it takes a full day to recover

Now is not the time to halt progress in #CancerResearch & prevention.

We call on Congress to prioritize the fight against cancer by pivoting to a short-term CR to fund the gov’t while drafting full appropriations bills that include robust investments in cancer: www.fightcancer.org/releases/acs...

Im so sorry but I think it says so much about a person if they go to an INDIAN restaurant and order only for themselves and don't do the meal family style. Its weird and incorrect.

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 and share if you're with us.

Now is not the time to pull back on discovering new cancer treatments, screening methods, and cures.

Join us and urge Congress to continue to invest in #CancerResearch. Every moment counts. ⬇️

Cuts to this critical program could worsen cancer outcomes by making it harder to access lifesaving health care, including cancer screenings and critical treatment.

Yes, the HPV vaccine is safe, despite R.F.K. Jr.'s claims. It's remarkably effective at preventing cancer — roughly 97% effective in preventing cervical cancer, and nearly 100% effective in preventing external genital warts.
Is the HPV Vaccine Safe? Yes, Despite What R.F.K. Jr. Has Said.
During his second day of confirmation hearings, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. declined to disavow comments he had made disparaging the vaccine as unsafe.
