US EditionOregon Democratic Leaders Warn of ‘Devastating Consequences’ After Passage of Trump’s Megabill
OREGON, JUL 3 – Oregon leaders warn that GOP bill’s $230 billion SNAP cuts and Medicaid reductions threaten health care and food aid for millions, especially in rural counties, officials said.
- Oregon Republican Congressman Cliff Bentz supported a comprehensive tax and spending reduction measure passed Thursday in the U.S. House by a slim 218-214 vote along party lines.
- The bill contains about $230 billion in federal SNAP cuts and nearly $1 trillion in Medicaid reductions over 10 years, prompting opposition from Oregon Democrats and criticism from former Gov. John Kitzhaber.
- Bentz consulted for months with Democratic ex-Gov. Kitzhaber on Medicaid, but Kitzhaber said Bentz incorporated nothing from those talks, while Gov. Tina Kotek and Rep. Andrea Salinas warned rural Oregonians will suffer most.
- Rep. Maxine Dexter called the bill a betrayal forcing people to choose between groceries and medical care, and Rep. Suzanne Bonamici described its passage as a moral failure with devastating Oregon impacts.
- The bill’s passage signals major reductions in health and food aid that could harm millions nationwide, including about one-third of Oregonians reliant on Medicaid and 42 million SNAP recipients.
