Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress made the largest cuts to health care in American history, and people across the country continue to sound the alarm, warning of the catastrophic effects of the GOP budget bill. Republicans slashed over $1 trillion from Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act to fund massive tax breaks for billionaires and big corporations, ripping away life-saving coverage from more than 15 million Americans and raising costs for even more. The consequences of this bill will be felt for years to come, and with hospital cuts and closures and premiums set to double for millions of hard-working families in the next few months, we are already seeing the consequences play out across the country.
