Critics Clash with Gov. Youngkin over Medicaid, SNAP Impacts of 'Big Beautiful Bill'

UNITED STATES, JUL 4 – The Senate bill cuts $186 billion from SNAP and Medicaid, imposing work requirements and cost-sharing that could drop 3.2 million people from SNAP monthly, risking food security and healthcare access.

  • Yesterday, Senate Republicans passed the reconciliation bill 51-50, with Vice President JD Vance breaking the tie, marking the largest SNAP rollback in U.S. history.
  • President Trump pushed for a July 4 deadline to pass a bill with massive social welfare cuts, increased military and deportation funding, and tax promises, aiming to enforce his agenda.
  • The Congressional Budget Office estimates over 11 million Americans could lose health coverage and 3 million could lose food benefits due to the bill's cuts to Medicaid and SNAP.
  • The Senate-passed bill threatens to dismantle SNAP in Texas, adding $89.5 million annually in costs and risking $716 million in benefits by FY 2028.
  • Following Senate approval, the bill moves to the House Rules Committee, with final passage expected before President Trump signs at 5 pm ET.
