    • March 2017: Proposed $5.8 billion (18%) cut to NIH funding, targeting cancer research indirectly.
    • February 2018: Proposed eliminating the John S. McCain Childhood Cancer Foundation.
    • June 2019: Revoked the Clean Power Plan, weakening air pollution controls linked to lung cancer prevention.
    • 2018: Delayed asbestos bans under the Toxic Substances Control Act, linked to cancer risks.
    • 2017-2019: Repeated attempts to repeal the ACA, threatening free cancer screenings like mammograms.
    • February 2020: Proposed $3 billion cut to NIH in the 2021 budget, while increasing defense spending.
    • July 2019: Reversed proposed bans on flavored e-cigarettes, undermining tobacco-use prevention.
