I am your constituent and I am a relentless champion of hope for the colorectal cancer community. I am writing to thank you for passing H.R. 1570/S. 668, the Removing Barriers to Colorectal Cancer Screening Act as part of the end of the year spending bill.

Colorectal cancer is treatable and even preventable if caught early. This bill will increase access to life-saving cancer screening by fixing Medicare statute to ensure that seniors do not face out-of-pocket costs when polyps are detected and removed during a screening colonoscopy.

The colorectal cancer community has been advocating for the Removing Barriers to Colorectal Cancer Screening Act for over a decade. We are thrilled to see it finally make it over the finish line and we thank you for your support.

I hope we can continue to work with your office to increase access to colorectal cancer screening and work towards a world without colorectal cancer.
