“Cancer research can’t be turned on and off like a light switch,” writes Catherine in Salt Lake City.

Capping federal funding will lead to cuts to cancer research and impact future innovation. Cancer research can’t be turned on and off like a light switch. We will lose progress, risk losing talented scientific expertise and compromise losing U.S. leadership in the cancer research space.

Setting up barriers to health insurance through Medicaid will compromise access to proven cancer care and lead to later-stage cancer diagnoses, when the disease is more expensive to treat, and survival is less likely. Furthermore, the evidence is clear: work requirements don’t work. I’m deeply concerned about what these proposals mean in the fight against cancer.We can’t afford to turn the clock back on cancer progress.
