Why Now Is the Time to Take Charge of Your Health

The need for personal health action rises to unprecedented levels because new healthcare legislation continues advancing through the passage of President Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill.” The healthcare landscape will undergo major alterations because of the substantial modifications to public health funding and Medicaid and Medicare service accessibility proposed by the bill.

Take Charge of Your Health. Now.

The Importance of Preventive Care

Preventive care consists of actions that stop disease before it occurs. It includes the following:

• Routine screenings (e.g., blood pressure, cholesterol, blood glucose, etc.)

• Recommended Immunizations

• Nutrition and lifestyle counseling

• Early detection of chronic illness

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that 75% of healthcare expenditures in the United States go toward chronic diseases which are preventable through prompt intervention and changes in lifestyle.¹

Medicaid and associated program funding cuts proposed in the bill will result in numerous individuals losing their access to preventive care along with chronic disease management services.²

Understanding the Impact of Healthcare Policy

The proposed “One Big Beautiful Bill” contains the following projected modifications as part of its legislative framework:

• Medicaid funding faces the possibility of getting cut by billions of dollars throughout ten years as part of this proposal³

• Adult Medicaid recipients must now comply with work requirements

• Millions of Americans risk losing their health insurance coverage³
