Trump’s ‘big, beautiful bill’ will lead to Medicare cuts: CBO
- President Donald Trump personally lobbied House Republicans on May 20, 2025, to support the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act' that proposes large tax cuts and spending changes.
- The bill aims to extend Trump’s 2017 tax cuts and reduce Medicaid spending, but faces opposition from fiscal conservatives and some moderates concerned about rising deficits and insufficient spending cuts.
- The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates that the legislation would add approximately $3.8 trillion to the deficit over the next ten years and result in nearly 8.6 million individuals being uninsured due to changes in Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act.
- Unions representing millions of public service workers have initiated a $2 million advertising and outreach effort to oppose the bill, warning that proposed Medicaid reductions and other measures jeopardize both employment and public services.
- The bill’s fate remains uncertain as House Republicans navigate internal divisions, with some holding out against it and Speaker Mike Johnson pushing for a vote by Memorial Day 2025.
