SB 1527, which waives cost sharing for secondary cervical cancer screening, has passed the House with unanimous backing. The next step is for the Governor to sign the bill into law. This legislation positions Oregon as a pioneer in cancer screening reform. secure-web.cisco.com/1Nw6VE6…

Thank you @SenatorRonWyden @SenJeffMerkley @RepDexterOR for leading a roundtable discussion on the devastating Medicaid cuts, affecting Oregonians and all Americans. Cancer patients who rely on lifesaving cancer research, are at risk. We urge you to persist in your efforts.

The proposed cuts in the budget bill go well beyond Medicaid. This bill would raise health care costs for everyone, even those with private insurance. @SenatorRonWyden and @SenJeffMerkley your constituents are counting on you to #protectaffordablecare and #ProtectMedicaid.

Yesterday @HouseCommerce @EnergyCommerce passed a bill that would make devastating cuts to #Medicaid. @RepBentz We are extremely disappointed in your vote. Please stand up to #ProtectMedicaid for Oregonians and cancer patients when this bill comes to the floor.

Medicaid provides essential health coverage to people across the country, including those with cancer. Any cuts to Medicaid could jeopardize lifesaving care for millions of cancer patients. @repdexteror, can I count on you to oppose cuts & #ProtectMedicaid?

Tomorrow @HouseCommerce will begin markup of a bill that will cut Medicaid, a program that 1 in children w/cancer & 1 in 10 adults w/a history of cancer rely on for health care. @RepBentz this is your chance to #ProtectMedicaid. Oregonians are counting on you.

•Cancer touches every family, every community. The time to act is now. Passing the #MCEDAct will save lives. Let’s get this across the finish line this year. @RonWyden RonWyden

We are deeply saddened to hear that former Senate President Peter Courtney has lost his battle with cancer. Our full statement: fightcancer.org/releases/sta…

Huge news! The Oregon Court of Appeals has ruled that Washington County's flavored tobacco policy is legal and can go into effect! Almost three years since the county passed this policy, and two years since the voters voted to keep it, flavored tobacco products are outta here!

Thank you @SusheelaJayapal and @MichaelJonascongress for signing the @ACSCAN #CancerPromise! We appreciate your commitment to support evidence-based public policy solutions to end cancer as we know it, for everyone. #CancerVotes #OR03

Thrilled to present @SenatorRonWyden with the OR Advocates for Early Cancer Detection Access Award! His tireless efforts to promote early cancer detection deserve recognition. Thank you for your unwavering commitment to improving lives! #MCED @ACSCAN – at Dallas, OR

So deeply impressed with the Happy Valley Youth Council having done the hard work with the Happy Valley City Council to pass a resolution calling on the State Legislature to end the sale of flavored tobacco products!
