Cathy,
You did it ... again!
Yesterday, U.S. Senate leaders announced they did not have the votes to pass the Graham-Cassidy health care bill.
For cancer patients, our nation’s 15 million cancer survivors and all those who might one day be diagnosed, this was an important and perhaps lifesaving achievement.
Now the health care debate in Washington will shift, and the question will be whether they try for a third time to gut our hard-fought patient protections in the current law, or whether they restart bipartisan consensus talks about how to make the current law work better for patients. It’s a critical moment in time, and that’s why we need to stay alert.
ACS CAN will be doing two important things moving forward:
- Staying vigilant to ensure that any new bill coming forward would keep our patient protections
- Pressing Congress to continue working toward a bipartisan solution that reduces healthcare costs for patients and survivors while providing true access to the cancer care they need
Please help support this ongoing work. Your donation will go directly to our efforts to improve access to affordable health care for all Americans, especially those with cancer.
Thank you for all of the actions you took these past two weeks.
Erin O’Neill
Vice President, Grassroots Strategy
