The recently passed One Big Beautiful Bill Act in the U.S. House threatens to upend health care access for millions. It includes the largest cuts to Medicaid in the program’s history and would make it significantly harder for individuals to afford or maintain coverage through ACA Marketplace plans or even private insurance. If enacted, this bill would strip health insurance from countless Americans, increase health care costs across the board, and place an unbearable burden on those already fighting serious illnesses — including the 1 in 3 children with cancer who rely on Medicaid for treatment.
This legislation doesn’t just jeopardize individual health; it risks overwhelming state systems with new layers of red tape and administrative costs. Families, seniors in nursing homes, veterans, people with disabilities, and rural communities will all be hit hardest. As a community that values equitable access to care, we must speak out. These cuts hurt those with the least ability to absorb them. We urge you to stay informed, contact your representatives, and stand up for the health and dignity of every American.
