After Senate Republicans passed the Big, Ugly Bill, they are tossing this monstrosity back to the House – despite a no-nonsense warning from Republican Senator Thom Tillis that their Tax Scam would obliterate hospitals and drastically cut Medicaid access for millions of Americans.
Every single so-called moderate House Republican has already backed the largest attack on health care and food assistance in American history to deliver massive tax giveaways to billionaires and multinational corporations.
According to the CBO, the House GOP’s version would kick 16 million people off Medicaid, jack up monthly premiums for nearly 24 million more, and trigger the closure of more than 300 rural hospitals.
What’s worse, the bill is a political loser, with a cascade of public polling revealing that it’s the most unpopular piece of legislation in modern American history. |
