One of the biggest threats we face in our mission to end breast cancer: attacks on affordable, accessible health care. Without health insurance, many Americans—including those with breast cancer—will go without regular checkups, screenings, treatments, and follow-up care.
This week, learn more about what’s at stake, who’s at risk of losing insurance and access to care, and what breast cancer advocates can do to fight back.

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) enhanced premium tax credits, set to expire at the end of 2025, have helped more than 20 million people purchase health insurance. If Congress doesn’t extend them, many will no longer be able to afford health insurance, and millions will become uninsured. What will that mean for your community—and your community’s health?
Explore how many people will lose subsidized ACA Marketplace coverage and become uninsured in your congressional district in 2026.
