Since day one, NBCC has been about systems change, influencing the health care, research, and policy systems that affect our mission of ending breast cancer.
Over the years, NBCC and our advocates have come up against many barriers, but today’s challenges are unprecedented. Evidence-based health care and science are under attack. The programs, policies, and funding that provide care to breast cancer patients, ensure health coverage, and fund lifesaving research face significant cuts. Many people will suffer. Some will die.
Right now, we need all hands on deck. If breast cancer has affected you, or a family member, or a friend—this is your fight too. Join NBCC this October—and every month of every year—as we protect our progress, stand up for science, and continue to move us closer to a world without breast cancer.
Everyone has a right to lifesaving health care.
But without affordable health insurance, many Americans go without regular checkups, cancer screenings, treatments, and follow-up care.
What will it mean for your community—and your community’s health—if Congress doesn’t extend the Affordable Care Act’s enhanced premium tax credits?
Explore how subsidized ACA Marketplace coverage will change—and how many people will become uninsured—in your congressional district in 2026.
