- The Conquering Cancer PAC is a political action committee dedicated to supporting policymakers who support high-quality care, choice, and access for cancer patients and autonomy and fair reimbursement for community oncology practices.
- The Conquering Cancer PAC is a nonpartisan political action committee (PAC)— we will support legislators who support cancer patients and their care.
- Cancer patients' needs are immediate. Patients cannot wait six to twelve months until regulatory problems are fixed. It is critical to maintain a timely and effective cancer delivery system at all times. Waiting days to weeks for authorization for radiology studies, medications, or other treatments creates real harm to real people.
Key Issues and Upcoming Bills
- The problems are multifaceted. No one should die from cancer because they can’t access the care they need.
- The patient and their doctor should determine treatment options.
- Disastrous Medicare Part B Changes
- Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBM) Abuse
- Sequester Cuts to Cancer Drug Reimbursements
- Willing provider laws and easy steering laws.
- Prescription dispensing for anybody, and prescription management
- Prohibit PBMs to steer patients to their specialty pharmacies based on co-pays or other factors. We want to protect patients getting timely access to medications IV and oral.
