We Are Cervivor

Turning Fireworks into Action

This 4th of July, as we celebrate freedom and independence, we’re reminded that freedom also means healthcare for everyone. The recent news about the Big Beautiful Bill is undoubtedly difficult for many Americans to process right now. However, we want to emphasize that this is not a defeat – it’s a call to action.

Cancer doesn’t discriminate, and neither should access to care. Thousands are still unable to get life-saving screenings or HPV vaccines due to cuts to programs like Medicaid and the Breast and Cervical Cancer Prevention Program. 

Let’s turn fireworks into action:

  • Share your story with us at www.cervivor.org
  • Speak up for HPV vaccination and preventive screenings
  • Advocate for access to healthcare by contacting your elected officials

We must stay informed, empowered, and continue advocating for the causes we care about. We must stand up and show up for each other every single day.

We must stay informed, empowered, and continue advocating for the causes we care about. We must stand up and show up for each other every single day. 

We are not powerless; we have voices that can create change. Our stories can educate others, and our collective momentum can propel us forward. 

One crucial way to make our voices heard is by exercising our right to vote. By doing so, we can continue to push for the changes we want to see. 

Let’s keep moving forward – together. We are Cervivor, and every life matters.

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.
