CBO says Trump's tax bill will add $2.4T to deficit, leave 11 million uninsured over a decade
- President Donald Trump met with Senate Finance Committee members at the White House on Wednesday to push his 'One Big Beautiful Bill' tax and immigration legislation.
- The legislation seeks to prolong existing tax incentives and support key initiatives but is met with resistance due to estimates that it will increase the federal deficit by $2.4 trillion and result in 10.9 million more Americans lacking health insurance.
- The bill includes roughly $3.7 trillion in tax cuts partially offset by $1.3 trillion in spending cuts mostly targeting Medicaid and food assistance, with some Republicans expressing concerns about these changes.
- Stephen Miller called it a 'dream bill' while critics like Senator Rand Paul labeled the debt increase a 'huge mistake' and Elon Musk described the bill as a 'disgusting abomination'.
- The bill now faces a difficult path through the Senate, where Republicans have a slim majority and some senators seek revisions, with passage possible by July 4 but uncertain due to growing dissent.
