Fellow activist,
Recently, Republicans in Congress voted to pass the budget reconciliation bill, also known as the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill.” This bill shows us clearly where the priorities of the Trump regime and the GOP lie.
This bill includes the most significant cuts in U.S. history to Medicaid and SNAP, as well as other critical programs and services that millions of people in Pennsylvania rely on. In fact, they voted to strip away health care and food assistance from tens of millions of people in our country and hundreds of thousands in our state. This budget puts working families directly in the crosshairs while billionaires and trillionaires walk away with fatter pockets.
To put the impact of this bill in perspective for Pennsylvania: |
- Two million adults and 1.4 million children rely on Medicaid.
- 400,000 seniors use it for long-term care.
- Two million Pennsylvanians depend on SNAP to afford groceries.
-
Medicaid cuts could cost the state 49,000 jobs and wipe out $5.3 billion in economic activity.
