US EditionHouse Democrats Decry Health Cuts in GOP Tax Law During Town Hall that Previews Midterms Messaging
CONNECTICUT, JUL 10 – Connecticut officials assess how a Trump-linked law could reduce state tax revenues and alter benefits for residents, with impacts still under review by policymakers.
- House Democrats held a town hall on July 11, 2025, in New Orleans to oppose health care cuts in the newly signed GOP tax and spending bill.
- Signed into law by President Trump on July 4, 2025, the bill cuts Medicaid funding by approximately $1 trillion and restricts food stamp eligibility, prompting criticism from Democrats as the 2026 midterm elections approach.
- Democratic leaders like Rep. Hakeem Jeffries and Rep. Troy Carter highlighted that Louisiana could lose one-fifth of its Medicaid budget, risking 33 rural hospital closures and increasing uninsured residents by over 200,000.
- Jeffries called the legislation an "unprecedented assault on health care," and Carter said the bill harms constituents by "stealing from the poor to give to the rich," while the Congressional Budget Office estimated 11.8 million might lose health coverage.
- Democrats aim to use this town hall and nationwide tour to educate voters on the bill’s effects and regain House control in the 2026 midterms, while Republicans argue the bill will strengthen the economy and support Louisiana families.
