John,
The Senate passed a new version of Trump’s Big Ugly Bill, and it’s even more toxic than the one the House barely squeaked through by a single vote. It slashes billions more from Medicaid, all to make room for tax breaks for billionaires and corporations. Now, that bill is headed back to the House for a final vote. This is our last chance to stop it.
The Senate’s version cuts more than $1 trillion from Medicaid, Medicare, and the Affordable Care Act, risking coverage for millions. We’re talking about seniors, people with disabilities, and low-income families being kicked off their healthcare while the richest 1%, who make more than $743,000 a year, will walk away with an average tax cut of $61,000.[1]
And who gets left behind? Working families. The middle 20% of Americans would get just 11% of the bill’s tax benefits. Those in the bottom fifth? Less than 1%. Someone in the top 0.1% would pocket $255,155 a year, nearly triple most households’ total income. This isn’t tax reform, it’s a heist. [2]
Thankfully, only 27% of registered voters support this bill. Among independents, it’s even worse at just 20% support, with 57% opposed.[2] The American people have spoken. Now it’s time for the House to listen.
Tell your Representative to vote NO on the Senate’s “Big Ugly Bill.”
This bill is the definition of economic cruelty. While working families struggle with rising costs of food, rent, and healthcare, Trump’s allies are slashing the food aid and health programs that millions rely on, just to hand another round of tax breaks to the ultra-rich.
Medicaid is being gutted so deeply that it will rip holes in state budgets, shutter hospitals, and leave patients in limbo. Food assistance is being hacked apart, leaving children hungry while CEOs cash out stock options.
These are deliberate attacks on people who are just trying to get by, pushed by lawmakers who think the wealthiest deserve more and everyone else should settle for less.
This is the final round. The Senate has done its damage. Now all eyes are on the House. Every act of resistance can help tip the scales.
Take action now to make sure every member of Congress knows this bill is political poison.
Together, we can stop this cruel bill and defend the dignity every family deserves.
