US Edition'Big Beautiful Bill' Passed By House: What It Means For PA
UNITED STATES, JUL 2 – The bill extends 2017 tax cuts, increases the debt limit by $5 trillion, and cuts Medicaid, risking health coverage loss for 11 million, amid GOP divisions and a narrow House vote.
- On Thursday, the U.S. House of Representatives passed President Trump's 'One Big, Beautiful Bill' tax and spending package in Washington, D.C.
- The bill narrowly passed the Senate on Tuesday with the decisive vote cast by Vice President JD Vance, following the defection of three Republicans concerned about Medicaid reductions and the impact on the national debt.
- The bill extends Trump’s 2017 tax cuts permanently, imposes $1.2 trillion in Medicaid and SNAP cuts with stricter work requirements, and provides $350 billion for border security funded partly by immigrant fees.
- Experts estimate 260,000 to 430,000 Pennsylvanians would lose health coverage including 310,000 losing Medicaid access, while median-income homes would receive $9,400 to $16,400 in annual tax breaks.
- While all House Democrats oppose the bill, citing harm to working families and increased inequality, Republican leadership secured enough votes despite some dissenters like Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick who opposed Medicaid cuts.

Donald Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” has reached a key stage as it faces its final vote in the House. While the Democratic party has stood united against the ‘Big Ugly Bill,’ as Hakeem Jeffries has branded it, Republicans have been significantly less organized, with Speaker Mike Johnson stating he’ll keep the vote open “as long as it takes.” A handful of Republican holdouts stalled proceedings last night, prompting President Trump to type out an …
