Exciting news for all North Texans! Thank you @RepArrington
I, alongside my colleague @RepTerriSewell, are incredibly proud to announce President Trump has signed into law our bipartisan Nancy Gardner Sewell Medicare Multi-Cancer Early Detection Screening Coverage Act.
This critical law will give seniors access to groundbreaking innovation that will transform the way we treat, diagnose, and prevent cancer.
With over 338 House cosponsors, 60 Senate cosponsors, 500 supporting organizations, and even Dallas Cowboys QB @dak, together, we are unleashing the power of early detection and saving millions of lives.
.@RepArrington, thank you for your leadership to get the #MCEDAct passed! And thank you @JohnCornyn, @RepVeasey for helping to usher in this new era of early cancer detection for seniors and patients.
