ACTION ALERT

It's time to help Save Our Screenings! Association Health Plan legislation is moving in the U.S. Senate - and we need your help to stop it.


This legislation (S.1955) is similar to the Association Health Plan (AHP) legislation that passed the House last year, and which was opposed by the American Cancer Society. If enacted, this legislation would undermine important patient protections and hamper our efforts to prevent, detect and treat cancer. State laws that ensure cancer screenings protections will be threatened. We can't let this happen.

What Cancer Screenings Are At Risk?

This bill would eliminate all of ACS' work in the states to guarantee access to mammograms, colon cancer screening, pap smears, clinical trial participation, off-label drug use and other cancer screenings and treatments.

Join other Americans in standing up to protect these vital cancer screenings. Please take a moment to contact your U.S. Senators and tell them you oppose any bill that would fail to protect mammograms and other cancer screenings.

- And more
