Your Voice Matters! How to Stop the One Big Beautiful Bill and Protect Cervical Cancer Care

Cervical cancer warriors and allies—we need your voices now, before the so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill” heads to a vote in the House.

As an organization dedicated to supporting cancer patients and survivors, Cervivor, Inc., unequivocally opposes this legislation. The consequences—if passed in its current form—would be devastating, especially for those who rely on public programs for cancer screening, treatment, and essential care.

What’s At Stake

Having narrowly passed the Senate, this bill could dismantle critical components of the healthcare safety net, including:

  • Massive Medicaid Cuts: Over the next 10 years, it would gut Medicaid—leaving nearly 8 million more people uninsured and stripping millions of access to affordable health coverage.
  • Strained Healthcare System: An increase in uninsured patients would overwhelm emergency rooms, drive up healthcare costs, and reduce the quality of care for all.
  • Rural Hospital Closures: Financially strained rural hospitals risk closure, jeopardizing emergency services and basic care for entire communities.
  • Cuts to Healthcare and Cancer Research: Science saves lives, but proposed changes to healthcare funding could threaten vital research and programs already under pressure.

Beyond these potentially severe consequences, the bill is projected to add $2.4 trillion to the national deficit over the next decade—or $3 trillion with interest—posing serious long-term risks to the nation’s economic health.

The Power of Your Voice

This is not the time to stay silent. The One Big Beautiful Bill is headed to the House—but it hasn’t passed yet. Now is the moment to speak up and drive change.

By sharing how at-risk programs, services, or research have impacted—or could impact—you, other cervical cancer survivors, or loved ones, you help shape the conversation and push policymakers to prioritize affordable healthcare for all.
