Millions of low -income and disabled Americans run the risk of losing their health insurance. Everything as a result of the farewell of Donald Trumps and the so -called “Big Beautiful Bill” of the Republicans. Meanwhile, MP Derrick van Orden (Republican, Wisconsin) joined the celebrations about one of the most destructive legislative proposals in US history.
“Everything nonsense”: Van Order rowed back
Van Orden shared a contribution from an X account called Logical Luminary, which claimed: “17 million people have just lost their health insurance. 18 million children have just lost their school meals. 3 million Americans have just lost food aid. And the deficit has increased by $ 3.5 trillion. Everything for tax cut for Trump’s billionaire donor.”
Van Order reacted to this in a post -deleted contribution: “Yes!”
Later he explained that his remark should “actually be a reaction to another text”, and added: “And all of this is nonsense.” Van Orden said he wanted to react to the “victory!” Post by the press spokeswoman of the White House, Karoline Levitt.
On July 3, Trump’s comprehensive legislative package was passed by the House of Representatives with 218 to 214 votes – two days after the Senate waved through it. The law now goes to the White House, where Trump is expected to sign it for independence day during a ceremony.
Millions lose medicaid – new hurdles for the needy
In the future, the law will make access to Medicaid difficult in the future. All supposedly work -capable adults under the age of 65 must either be a volunteer or work in low -wage jobs at least 20 hours a week to keep their insurance. The changes in the Medicaid program are expected to push over 10 million Americans out of the system. That was a lifeline for many.
In connection with the changes of the Republicans to the insurance exchanges created by the Affordable Care Act, around 17 million Americans will lose their health insurance coverage, according to the non -partisan congression office.
Further highlights of the law: tax relief for rich, debt increase
The comprehensive law permanently extends Trump’s wealthy tax cuts from 2017. And favors numerous other republicans projects. The extensions of tax cuts are likely to increase public debt by over $ 4 trillion. This sum is only partially balanced by the Republicans. Through massive cuts in Medicaid, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), investments in renewable energies and other programs that support working Americans.
