What Americans Were Reading on House Republicans’ One Big, Ugly Anniversary

• CBS identified the winners and losers of the bill. The winners? “Corporations” and “high-income households.”
• The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported that the Medicaid cuts could leave “310,000 Pennsylvanians without health coverage and could cause 26 rural hospitals to close.”
• The Washington Post highlighted how Arizonans are struggling to feed their families because of House Republicans’ SNAP cuts.
• The Virginia Independent writes that “13 out of the 31 licensed inpatient hospitals in rural Virginia [are] either at risk of closure or at risk of immediate closure”
• The Ohio Capital Journal says the bill will cost Ohio “51,000 jobs and $5.3 billion from the state economy.”
• In Eau Claire, local citizens protested the devastating impacts of the bill, with attendees including a “businessman, a family physician, and a brain cancer survivor.”
• One aspiring doctor told CNN, “This whole concept of the American dream, where it’s like, if you work hard enough, you’ll get there, it’s just, frankly, a lie,” when talking about how the Republican bill impacted their decision to abandon their dream of becoming a doctor.

DCCC Spokesperson Liam Buckley:
“House Republicans’ Big, Ugly Bill is an albatross around their necks and a disaster for the American people. The GOP sold out hardworking families to fund tax cuts for billionaires and corporations — it will cost them the majority in November.”
