Washington, D.C. – Today, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released the final analysis of Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans’ devastating tax bill. It confirms the bill makes the largest health care cuts in history, ripping away coverage from millions Americans.
Premiums will skyrocket for middle-class families, rural hospitals will shut their doors, and entire communities will be left behind — all because Republicans wanted to give tax breaks to billionaires and big corporations.
“This CBO score is a damning indictment of Donald Trump and Republicans’ cruelty,” said Protect Our Care Chair Leslie Dach. “They’re lying about what this bill does because the truth is devastating: millions will lose their coverage, premiums and out-of-pocket costs will skyrocket, and life-saving care will be pushed out of reach, all to fund tax breaks for billionaires and big corporations. Republicans knew exactly what this bill would do, and they passed it anyway, leaving hard-working families stuck with the consequences. Every Republican who stood behind this draconian bill is directly responsible for the pain and suffering it’s causing across the country.”
