How cancer legislation can impact prevention, treatment and cost of care
Cancer might not seem all that political; after all, it is an equal-opportunity illness that can impact anyone no matter their age, race, ethnicity, religion or beliefs. Cancer doesn’t care who you voted for or if you voted at all.
So how does cancer tie to politics?
The answer is that cancer researchers, in their search for new information to understand the disease and develop new treatments, discover ways the public can be protected from cancer-causing substances in the environment or best equipped to fight cancer should the need arise.
Passing federal and statewide policies that help prevent and treat cancer is critical to building healthy communities, Through advocacy and public education, we aim to make cancer a top priority for public officials at every level of government.
