How the One Big Beautiful Bill Impacts Healthcare
January, 2026
H.R.1 is the biggest cut to healthcare in U.S. history. The result: higher costs, worse coverage, strained care systems, and a public health crisis in the making. Between gutting Medicaid, CHIP, and ACA cuts, H.R. 1 kicks 15 million Americans off of their health insurance and more than doubles premium costs for 22 million people.

Civics 101: Civic Engagement for Healthcare Workers
This webinar was made for training on how healthcare professionals from all disciplines and stages of training can help their patients, peers, and communities become more civically engaged. We’ll discuss how healthcare professionals can engage with Legislators and policymakers. We will also walk through some specific examples to learn how to find issues policymakers are considering that interest you.
During our session,“There is No Off Year: How Our 2023 Efforts Impact 2024 Voter Turnout,” we aim to elevate the idea that health care delivery organizations and health care providers can facilitate civic engagement efforts “all year, and in all years.” We will discuss how funding and government investments in elections infrastructure in 2023 will impact voters in 2024 and how automated voter registration policy reforms will be critical in 2023. We will explore ways health care workers and health care delivery organizations can advocate for policies that advance civic engagement this year and learn from our panelists how they plan to advance civic engagement throughout 2023 in preparation for the 2024 Presidential Election.
