Advocacy Action Alert: H.R. 1

Advocacy Action Alert: H.R. 1

Sent via email: July 2, 2025.

 

Good morning,

On Tuesday, July 1, the U.S. Senate passed H.R. 1—a bill that includes severe cuts to Medicaid and Marketplace insurance. These programs are lifelines for one-third of the bleeding disorders community.

Among many other changes, the bill would make Medicaid and marketplace insurance less accessible and more expensive, and is projected to lead to 17 million people losing coverage nationwide. This legislation puts their health coverage and access to essential care at serious risk, and also threatens HTC sustainability.

The bill now heads to the U.S. House for a final vote.

We need your voice now, more than ever before. Join us and the National Bleeding Disorders Foundation (NBDF) in urging lawmakers to protect access to care by voting NO on H.R. 1. With just a few clicks, you can send a pre-written message to your Representative using NBDF’s simple advocacy tool.

Thank you for helping our entire community be heard. While there are still many uncertainties, please email [email protected] with any questions you may have.
