Skin cancer is the most common cancer in America, and it is also one of the most curable when it’s caught early. That depends on seeing a dermatologist, often one who can find a suspicious spot and remove it in the same visit. Medicare’s proposed 2027 payment rules would pay half price for a procedure or exam done on the same day as an office visit, and would phase out a payment adjustment that covers practice costs — cuts that fall heavily on dermatology. Seniors carry most of the skin cancer burden, and many rural counties already have no dermatologist at all. Squeeze those practices and the result is fewer appointments, longer waits, and more patients sent home to come back another day — if they come back. Resistbot is asking the candidates on your 2026 ballot to reverse Medicare payment cuts that ration skin cancer detection and treatment, and to protect seniors’ access to same-day care.
