38 Organizations United to Protect Access to Lifesaving Cancer Screenings

As the Supreme Court prepares to hear oral arguments that could reshape the future of no-cost preventive services in the U.S., 38 leading patient advocacy groups and healthcare organizations stand united in urging the Court to uphold these critical protections, warning that eliminating them would have devastating consequences for access to colorectal cancer and other crucial screenings, and the health of millions of Americans.

This potential rollback of guaranteed, no-cost access to preventive services threatens to undermine the progress we have made in increasing colorectal cancer screening rates and reducing colorectal cancer incidence and mortality, representing a serious setback for public health.

Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States, with rates currently rising in younger adults. Americans have been provided with no-cost screening for colorectal cancer for more than 15 years, and it has proven to be a lifesaving tool to reduce incidence, lower mortality, and for some, prevent cancer altogether.

If Americans were to lose these time-proven protections, the consequences would result in:

  • An increase in later-stage colorectal cancer diagnoses, leading to higher treatment costs
  • An increase in preventable deaths
  • Greater financial burdens on patients, families and society
  • An increase in federal and state healthcare costs

Our coalition of patient advocacy, medical, research, public health, and business leaders urges the Court to uphold these critical protections for preventive screening.

We stand together in asking policymakers, the courts, and health leaders to protect access to preventive services.

Screening saves lives. We stand together, united that this life-saving coverage must not be eliminated.
