CCA Spotlight
Affordable Care Act Upheld
 The Supreme Court’s
landmark decision on the Affordable Care Act will have a major impact on cancer
survivors and their families. Provisions include access to health insurance for
those who would otherwise be uninsured and coverage of life-saving preventive
services, including colorectal cancer screenings, without co-pays or
deductibles. We will keep you updated as federal and state-level decisions are made and
will work to help you understand what this new law means for you.
“Screen My Colon!” PSA Dazzles Indy 500 Race Fans
 Last month, our animated public service announcement, “Screen My
Colon!” was seen by more than 1.4 million at the Indy 500. As attendees filed
into the main entrance at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, they were greeted
with the important message to learn about their family histories and talk to
their doctors about screening. We hope it started some life-saving
conversations. Check
it out.
