Join the ASCO Advocacy Summit action virtually using the ACT Network

American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) shared a post on LinkedIn:

“Join the ASCO Advocacy Summit action virtually using the ACT Network. Urge your Members of Congress to:

Help end Drug Shortages by acting to remedy the economic factors that drive generic manufacturers out of the market, reward reliable U.S. manufacturing of critical and supportive medications, recognize potential shortages earlier by increasing the Food and Drug Administration’s visibility into the supply chain, and relay information about potential shortages to health systems and providers earlier to help them prepare for and mitigate possible supply challenges.
Support federally funded Cancer Research by providing robust funding for the National Institutes of Health, National Cancer Institute, and the Advanced Research Projects Agency Health for fiscal year 2025.
Permanently expand telehealth flexibilities in Medicare by cosponsoring the CONNECT for Health Act (S. 2016 / H.R. 4189). The bill would permanently extend the telehealth flexibilities put in place for Medicare services during the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency.

Take action here.”
