Moments ago, Congress passed the most impactful cancer-fighting bill in years. It happened thanks to cancer advocates like you who refused to back down!

Thank you to Lentheus Chaney from WTXL Tallahassee for talking with the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network - ACS CAN as apart of his in-depth look at the fact that thousands in North Florida could lose access to life-saving care if Congress lets key Affordable Care Act tax credits expire.
