HEALTH CARE LEGISLATION
After delaying a vote, Senators are back in Washington, DC this week to review the Better Care Reconciliation Act (BCRA), which would result in 22 million people losing insurance coverage, including 15 million who depend on Medicaid. It would erode protections for people with pre-existing conditions, making insurance unaffordable for millions of cancer survivors. A new version of the bill is expected this week, with a vote next week.
Call 844-257-6227 today and every day until the vote next week to ask your Senator to vote “NO” on the BCRA.
SEA BLUE WALK/RUN
While it’s only mid-July, September will be here in short order. Plan to attend and fundraise for the 13th Annual SEA Blue Chicago Prostate Cancer Walk & Run in Lincoln Park on Sunday, September 10th. If you’re unable to attend the event in-person, please fundraise as a “Virtual Mover” or donate to the event. Funds raised help Us TOO provide educational resources and support services to the prostate cancer community at no charge. For more information or to register for the event, visit
