Mississippi advocates for ACS CAN work to encourage elected officials and candidates to make cancer a top national and state priority by supporting laws and policies for cancer research and prevention, tobacco control, access to care, and better quality of life for patients.
Do you have a personal story about how cancer has impacted you or someone you love? Your lawmakers are overwhelmed with numbers and studies. What they need most are stories about people - real people in their own community or district.
A series of TV advertisements paid for by the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN) launched today. The latest ad calls attention to the diverse range of people caught in the Medicaid coverage gap, including military veterans, their families, and cancer patients. The ad is hitting the airwaves as the Senate continues its work toward its plan to provide more hard-working Mississippians access to health care through Medicaid.
The Mississippi House of Representatives, in a 96-20 vote today, passed legislation that would increase the eligibility for Medicaid, an effort that will ensure access to affordable health care for over 200,000 Mississippians.
Today the Mississippi House Medicaid Committee voted X-X to approve “Healthy Mississippi Works,” a bill that would close the health care coverage gap for over 200,000 Mississippians.
Do you have a personal story about how cancer has impacted you or someone you love? Real stories are how ACS CAN ensures that no one becomes a statistic.
