Big, beautiful bill cuts to healthcare ..... because nothing says “freedom” like fewer doctors, higher costs, and longer waiting times.
I am astonished with such an unpopular policy proposal with consequences as devastating as the “One Big Beautiful Bill.”
$863 billion in Medicaid cuts over 10 years
$295 billion in SNAP (food assistance) cuts
New work requirements and eligibility checks for Medicaid that will push millions off coverage, even those who qualify
Elimination of coverage for key women’s health services, including abortion and adult gender-affirming care
A projected increase of 16 million uninsured by 2034, per the Congressional Budget Office
This is not just about insurance. It’s about removing access to basic prenatal care, postpartum follow-up, contraception, and cancer screenings.
Nearly 50% of all births in the U.S. are covered by Medicaid. For many patients, especially in rural areas or underserved communities, there is no alternative. These cuts will widen existing disparities, increase maternal morbidity, and strain already vulnerable hospitals.
……. and the national debt will increase by $3.4 Trillion, yes TRILLION dollars.
This is not reform. It’s disassembly.
Healthcare is being treated as expendable. The impact will be felt immediately in emergency rooms, clinics, and delivery units across the country. That anyone would want this is shocking to me.
