Marilyn Heine, Physician Leader at Pennsylvania Medical Society, shared on LinkedIn:
“Friends and colleagues from Pennsylvania and across the country met with Congressional Members and staff during the 2026 ASCO Advocacy Summit to advocate for key issues impacting our patients and practices.
We appreciate the support of those in Congress who advance these issues.
Seniors Act is an important step forward to fixpriorauth. Prior authorization delays and denials have been shown to cost patients’ lives.
Telehealth has transformed access to care. We cannot afford to lose this progress. Make telehealth for Medicare permanent.
Federal investment in cancer research helps ensure continued advances in cancer care.
Budget neutrality reform is essential for physician practice sustainability and access to care for patients.
Cancer does not wait and neither should Congress.
Congratulations to Representatives John Joyce (R-PA) and Kim Schrier (D-WA) who have been named the 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Congressional Champions for Cancer Care for their dedication to advancing bipartisan policies that improve cancer care, access, and research.”
