NCCS and 33 Cancer-Related Patient Advocacy and Professional Organizations Jointly Oppose Senate’s Revised BCRA

July 13, 2017/in Cancer News, Cancer Policy Blog, NCCS News Access to Care, Affordable Care Act, Financial Toxicity, Health Care Coverage, Health Equity, Pre-Existing Conditions NCCS News /by actualize

Silver Spring, MD – The National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship (NCCS) joined 33 cancer-related patient advocacy and professional organizations in opposition to the Senate’s revised Better Care Reconciliation Act (BCRA).

“The Senate’s BCRA, just as the House’s AHCA, is a direct threat to America’s 16 million cancer patients and survivors who rely on timely and uninterrupted access to comprehensive and affordable health care,” said NCCS CEO Shelley Fuld Nasso. “With an estimated 22 million losing coverage, severe cuts to Medicaid, and elimination of pre-existing condition protections, this bill is devastating for the American people, especially for anyone with a cancer diagnosis. It is time to end this threat that is causing fear and anxiety throughout the cancer community, and work towards bipartisan solutions to strengthen current law.”

34 Cancer-Related Patient and Professional Organizations Jointly Oppose the Senate's BCRA

The groups who joined the effort are:

  1. American Society for Clinical Oncology (ASCO)
  2. American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO)
  3. Association of Community Cancer Centers (ACCC)
