The American College of Rheumatology Reacts to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act

ATLANTA – The American College of Rheumatology (ACR) today shared the following reaction to Congressional passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act:

While it will take time to fully understand the impact of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act passed earlier, the ACR is disappointed that Congress has advanced legislation that could impact patients’ access to Medicaid and limit providers' ability to care for vulnerable patients. We encourage leaders in Washington to support measures that expand access to care and coverage for patients, rather than displacing the estimated 11.8 million Americans whose insurance could be at risk.
