Trumps big beautiful bill will take away insurance from about 12 million Americans.

Census and tax data showed that the Affordable Care Act’s Medicaid expansion saved about 27,000 lives between 2010 and 2022.
Had the holdout states like Florida and Texas expanded Medicaid during that time, they could have saved nearly 13,000 more.


Thoughts?

The megabill’s provisions will lead to 1.7 million Texans losing their coverage, adding to the nearly 5 million children and adults under 65 who currently lack health insurance.
Texas already has the highest uninsured rate in the nation.

The reality is no matter what the bill includes there is going to be something that many will not like. I would much prefer to look at the bill as a whole rather than waste time fixated on one negative. There's a ton of good coming out of the bill.

Those that will be involved in the removal of medicaid will have other options like Health Insurance Marketplace, Basic Health Programs (in some states), and employer-sponsored plans. Those eligible for Medicare due to age or disability will also have access to that program. The bill protects and strengthens Medicaid for those who rely on it—pregnant women, children, seniors, people with disabilities, and low-income families—while eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse. The One Big Beautiful Bill removes illegal aliens, enforces work requirements, and protects Medicaid for the truly vulnerable.

There's a lot of people out there that honestly just choose to live a low income lifestyle and many choose to have kids while in that low income lifestyle. If many of the people you are referring to made plans and decisions to work hard and choose a line of work that pays well and has insurance plans with those companies they'd be sitting in a different position today.

I can see the goal and vision of America as a whole and im not against this part of the bill.

Project 2025 progressing
who needs a functioning government anyway? Debt? why the fuqq not?

Luckily there's ai now to help me type and get my thoughts across - because me brain not so good develop. trump good though, he good

Exactly!

How can someone with their wits intact back such a treacherous act and a blatant disregard of economic and social well-being?!

Feel free to explain why the bill is 100% bad. I see many good things included in the bill that will benefit the country.

I have better ways of wasting my time. Like playing d2!

I trust you can do research yourself.
Make sure not to do a wrong turn - the trump media apparatus is stronk!

Clearly just a sarcastic troll lol.

I have read through all of the contents of the bill. Do I agree with all of its contents? No.

The bill as a whole has America's best interests in mind and it's very evident that Trump cares for the country. Was crystal clear his first term and even more so this term.
