The American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network Applauds State Lawmakers for Filing Legislation That Aims to Expand Health Care Coverage

We look forward to continuing a robust policy conversation about addressing our state’s healthcare crisis that affects over 200,000 low-income Mississippians

February 16, 2024

“Mississippi’s legislative leadership said improving access to health care for low-income Mississippians will be on the table and at least thoroughly vetted as a solution to our state’s health care crisis. For cancer patients and survivors caught in the coverage gap, we know access to health care means comprehensive coverage for screening, medications, and life-saving treatment. The American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network will continue to work with state legislators to find a Mississippi-based solution that will increase health care access and make our state healthier and more prosperous.”
