2018 State Legislative Priorities

January 9, 2018

Working together, we can convince lawmakers in Virginia that fighting cancer should be a top priority. Our elected leaders make critical decisions that affect cancer-related programs and issues. With your help, the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN) is leading the fight to conquer cancer at the State Capitol.

2018 State Legislative Priorities

  • Reducing tobacco use by increasing the state tobacco tax
  • Increase state funding for cancer research
  • Increase funding for Every Woman's Life program (provides breast and cervical cancer screenings for uninsured women)
  • Expand access to health-care to Virginians who fall in the coverage-gap
  • Simply the process for cancer patients who are seeking an exception from step-therapy
