Schumer renames Trump megabill the ‘Well, We’re All Going to Die Act’

  • Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer renamed the Republican-led reconciliation bill the 'Well, We’re All Going to Die Act' during a June 4 press conference in Washington, D.C.
  • Schumer’s renaming stemmed from concerns that the bill enacts large tax cuts, cuts social programs including health care, and blocks extensions of enhanced Obamacare credits, risking public harm.
  • Key Democrats including Senators Ron Wyden and Bernie Sanders cited studies estimating that the bill could cause over 51,000 American deaths annually due to loss of Medicaid and premium tax credits.
  • Wyden warned that removing coverage and support services—including home and mental health assistance—from vulnerable groups such as older adults, individuals with disabilities, children, and working families could result in fatal consequences, while Sanders described the Republican reconciliation bill’s Medicaid cuts as a life-threatening blow to struggling Americans.
  • The debate over the bill underscores potential policy consequences including millions losing coverage and increased mortality, while critics dismissed Schumer’s claims as exaggerated and politically motivated.
