US EditionLouisiana Leaders React to Passing of President Donald Trump’s ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’
- On July 3, 2025, Congress passed the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act' tax and spending package, which President Trump signed into law on July 4 in Washington, D.C.
- The bill consolidates Republican priorities with tax breaks and spending cuts, passing along party lines with all Republicans supporting and all Democrats opposing it.
- Key provisions include $1.1 trillion in Medicaid and ACA cuts over ten years, work requirements starting in 2026, and freezing or reducing state healthcare payments beginning immediately or by 2028.
- The Congressional Budget Office projects the bill will increase deficits by nearly $3.3 trillion between 2025 and 2034, cause at least 11.8 million to lose health insurance, and reduce food stamp eligibility for over 3 million Americans.
- Critics warn the law disproportionately benefits wealthier Americans, threatens rural hospital closures, deepens economic inequality, and eliminates major clean energy incentives.
