"That is my quiet lesson of Veterans Day. Our country endures because of what we believe—and how we act when belief demands sacrifice in serving each other. Veterans remind me that a republic survives only when its citizens choose responsibility over indifference."

We learned that plans are underway to remove all 16 volunteer members of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, or USPSTF. The AMA is deeply concerned about what this decision would mean for patients and physicians. Read the AMA's full letter to the administration: spr.ly/63323fORCh

These proposed cuts will lead to more suffering and death from #cancer, reversing course on the downward trend in cancer death rates.

We call on the president to reverse course and protect the programs and services at #HHS that have made our country a global leader in #CancerResearch. (2/2)

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