This is super important. Take a moment to tag your Member of Congress to tell them to vote yes on the year end package.

This bill creates a pathway for access to early detection for people with Medicare—which is critical because the risk of cancer increases with age.
We urge swift passage. bit.ly/3ZZCIQe
