After Senate Republicans barely jammed through Trump’s disaster of a bill slashing health care and food assistance for working families to pay for a massive tax handout to the wealthy, now House Republicans are struggling to pass legislation that even they know is politically toxic and devastating for millions of Americans. While polls continue to show that Americans overwhelmingly oppose the GOP’s anti-health care giveaway to the ultra-rich, Republicans are still ready to wreck services that millions of Americans rely on just to please Trump and their billionaire backers.
BACKGROUND
Trump’s so-called big, beautiful bill:
- 🩺 Kicks nearly 17 million people off their health insurance and cuts over $1 trillion from Medicaid.
- 🏥 Will force hundreds of hospitals to close across the country.
- 📈 Raises health care costs for tens of millions of low- and middle-income Americans.
