CALL TO ACTION: Nurses are the Heartbeat of healthcare and Congress must continue to hear our voices

July 1, 2025

Last week, more than 500 nurses representing 47 states, the District of Columbia, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands descended on Washington D.C. and Capitol Hill. Nurse leaders shared information, insights, and personal experiences to educate lawmakers about priority legislative issues - including funding cuts to Medicaid.

Today, we find ourselves at a critical moment. The Senate has passed H.R.1, otherwise known as the "One Big Beautiful Bill," which, should it become law, cuts Medicaid and poses potentially devastating consequences to patients, nurses, and healthcare overall. The House of Representatives is scheduled to vote on this bill tomorrow morning.

We have published a statement on H.R.1, which you can find here

We are urging all of our members and nurse advocates to TAKE ACTION IMMEDIATELY. CLICK HERE to contact your Representatives in the House through RNAction.org. 

ANA will continue its advocacy efforts as the House and Senate work to reconcile and improve their two versions of the bill. Be on the lookout for additional Take Action alerts over the coming days.

Let's show Congress that nurses are the heartbeat of healthcare and that nurses voices need to be heard!
