Advocacy Request from the Cancer Policy Institute

Republican Senators are scrambling to force the Better Care Reconciliation Act through their chamber without due process or time for hearings and debate. Today, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released its findings about the impact that this bill will have on Americans if it is passed.  The report predicts that 22 million people will be left uninsured over the next decade. Senators can no longer deny the devastating impact that this bill will have if passed into law. Costs will be higher and coverage will be weaker-especially for individuals with pre-existing conditions like cancer patients and survivors. Today, the American Medical Association stated that this legislation violates one of the most important standards of medicine: "First, do no harm." Please call your Senators and tell them that they must vote NO on this bill! If you have called before, call again! It is more important now than ever before that we send a clear message that this bill is UNACCEPTABLE.  Call Now!  Sincerely, Elizabeth Franklin ​Senior Director, Policy and Advocacy ​Cancer Support Community
