Hakeem Jeffries has warned that Donald Trump’s “big beautiful bill” will affect low income Americans the most. Cuts to Medicaid are being considered with a handful of Republicans arguing that the bill hasn’t gone far enough with what’s being cut.
Four Republicans in particular have caused the bill to stall over plans for Medicaid. Lawmakers are arguing in favor of almost $1 trillion in cuts to Medicaid and food stamps, two things which many low income citizens rely on heavily. This has led to modifications being made to the bill which speaker Mike Johnson outlined on Sunday. One of the changes included the promise of stopping all undocumented migrants from accessing Medicaid.
