[lankisterguy]

Dear Advocate,

Whether it’s making sure every patient can afford health insurance that works for them or advancing better treatments, LLS is committed to working tirelessly to advance policies that serve the needs of blood cancer patients and their families.

In 2023 we will continue to work closely with dedicated volunteer advocates, like you, and elevate the voices of patients to state and federal elected officials, the White House, governors and even courts, when it matters most. We are excited to share a few of our top policy priorities for this year and would love to know which are most important to you.

In 2023, LLS is committed to ensuring patients have access to high-quality health insurance. Cancer patients should never be blocked from life-saving treatment.

• We are focused on ensuring that Medicaid is available for those who need it, no matter where they live.

• This goal includes preventing or limiting "junk insurance," which provides little coverage and can discriminate against cancer patients.

We’re also prioritizing making cancer care affordable, now and in the future.

• We are working to reduce patients’ out-of-pocket costs for treatment, on an annual and monthly basis.

• This includes helping to protect patients from medical debt and unexpected costs that arise from surprise medical bills

This year, with your help, LLS is continuing to stand up for kids and young adults diagnosed with cancer.

• We want to ensure pediatric patients are able to access time-sensitive cancer care outside of their home state.

• LLS is working to accelerating the development of new treatments for childhood cancer.

Below are some of our other many priorities for 2023

• Increasing state and federal funding for cancer research.

• Removing barriers to clinical trial enrollment.

• Removing health and financial burdens for cancer survivor.
