[BEST OF] Fight Cancer! with The American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (EP280 Rebroadcast)

Today's episode is made possible in part by The American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACSCAN), the nation's leading cancer advocacy organization working daily to make cancer issues a national priority. 

Today I am joined live in-studio by Pam Traxel (ACSCAN Senior Vice President for Alliance Development and Philanthropy), Kate Weisman, a young adult cervical cancer survivor, and Ian Locke, a Ph.D. student in molecular cancer biology at Duke University. 

Kate is a state lead ambassador for ACSCAN Massachusetts, and Ian is a congressional district member for ACSCAN North Carolina. Together with Pam, we talk about channeling anger into action, what lobbying the federal government looks like, and how getting legislation passed across the aisle can help millions of Americans at a clip.

What's more, we invite you — the listener — to join the thousands of cancer patients, survivors, caregivers, and advocates fighting on Capitol Hill daily to make healthcare suck less for Americans. 

Why complain when you can do something tangible right now? How would you like to help reduce drug costs, improve access to care, and motivate the FDA to approve new life-saving treatments?

Visit https://fightcancer.org and see how you can actively influence the government to do the right thing and help cancer patients nationwide.
