The “Big, a beautiful bill of bill” that the Republicans are Try The congress is billed as the bill on the taxes and immigration of President Donald Trump, extending the 2017 tax reductions which massively promote the rich while funding the repression of Trump's evil immigration.
But in reality, Dogshit legislation is only a way of a stolen door for Trump and the GOP to repeal the affordable care law, the signature legislative realization of President Barack Obama who helped Tens of millions of Americans obtain health insurance or Medicaid cover.
“They do not call this repeal and the replacement of the ACA, but the losses of coverage would be part of many people who would have lost their insurance under the repeal of the ACA,” said Larry Levitt, executive vice-president of KFF health policy, said The Washington Post.
If he adopts, the “Big and Beautiful Bill Act” Force nearly 14 million people To lose their insurance coverage so that the GOP can – in particular – to check the cost of tax reductions for the rich, which it would do in several ways.
First, the bill essentially reduces the expansion of Medicaid of the ACA by limiting the amount that states can be reimbursed, letting states find millions of funds to cover these costs or re -asserts which is covered. Groups like the American Hospital Association firmly oppose the bill, because the modifications made to the reimbursement of Medicaid could lead to hospital closings, in particular in rural areas which supported Trump in 2024.
“The legislative proposals of Medicaid severely restrict the use of legitimate state financing resources and additional payment programs, including service providers and state -run payments, under the cover of the elimination of waste, fraud and abuses. said in a press release.
“These new policies are estimated to decimate federal support on the Medicaid program of more than $ 700 billion over 10 years and will move health care for millions of Americans, by passing them from insured to uninsured status,” he added.
The Republicans also try to impose work requirements on the beneficiaries of Medicaid, who say the experts Force eligible people To lose their Medicaid due to expensive paper problems.
Meanwhile, the Republicans are also refusing to extend An expansion of the subsidies that the Democrats of the Congress adopted in their first bill on COVID-19 aid in 2021, which helped millions of people to afford insurance. Without extension, costs Increase for millions of AmericansUltimately cause 5 million people lose their insurance
But that could spell a political destiny for the Republicans in the midst of 2026.
A survey in April of Navigator research shows That Obamacare subsidies are extremely popular, with 79% of people in support. And a CIVIQS survey of March for the daily KOS found that 63% of registered voters oppose reduction programs Medicaid And food coupons.
The Democrats, for their part, plan to make this an objective in the mid-term of 2026, with the Democrats of the Senate attract attention To the reductions in the health care of the bill to Gin Up Public Backlash.
Likewise, Protect Our Care, a group seeking to extend access to health care, is already Ads in progress In 11 districts of the Gop Chamber, attacking the Republicans who voted for the “Big and Magnificent Bill Act”.
“By reducing health care, the Republicans dared to touch the third path said in a press release.
“The Republicans know how indefenable their tax bill is: this is why they have held hearings in the night death and wrote the Bill behind closed doors. We make sure that the American people know the disastrous consequences of what their elected officials voted and, without a doubt, the Republicans have continued.
History shows that it can be extremely powerful for Democrats in 2026. Do not forget, health care was the problem This helped to reconquer the Chamber in 2018 when the Democrats disseminated advertisements attacking the GOP legislators for voting for repealing Obamacare, leading dozens of republicans to lose their seats. And now they hope that history will repeat itself.
“Their whole program can be summed up for this: billionaires win and families lose”, the head of the minority of the Senate Chuck Schumer written in a letter to the Democrats of the Senate on June 1. “The billionaires win and that families lose when the Republicans launch millions of Americans from their health insurance by focusing the ACA and offering the largest Medicaid cup in American history.”
