American Academy of Nursing Statement on the Passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act
Friday, July 4, 2025
The American Academy of Nursing (Academy) expresses our disappointment by the enactment of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (H.R. 1), which is now signed into law. This legislation will leave millions of Americans without essential health care coverage. As we have consistently stated throughout the legislative process, sections of H.R.1 would seriously harm the health and well-being of individuals, families, and communities across the country.
The Academy’s vision is Healthy Lives for All People and despite the reversal of key and longstanding federal policy, we will continue to advocate for programs that ensure cost-effective, positive health outcomes. This will be achieved by working closely with our partners and policymakers to not only mitigate the impact of provisions within this law but also invest in a future health infrastructure where care, coverage, and access continue to place the patient at its center.
