Dana-Farber’s Legislative Action Network's Priorities

Childhood Cancer

• H.R.1509 + S.752 – Accelerating Kids’ Access to Care Act ensures out-of-state providers can enroll in Medicaid programs across multiple states, reducing delays and ensuring that children get the timely care they need.
• H.R. 1262 – Give Kids a Chance Act focuses on accelerating research and expanding access to the latest treatments, helping children gain access to the most advanced therapies.

Prostate Cancer

• H.R. 1300 – PSA Screening for HIM Act requires health insurance coverage for evidence-based prostate cancer preventive care and screenings, such as the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test, without cost-sharing.

Cancer Research Funding

• Increased funding for cancer research at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) in fiscal year 2026.
