Rural hospitals across the heartland are already struggling to stay afloat—and Republicans are about to vote for the largest cut to Medicaid in history, which will only make matters worse.
It’s going to have devastating consequences for our neighbors.

Republicans claim to be rooting our waste and fraud—but in reality, they’re forcing hardworking Missourians to jump through unnecessary hoops and hurdles to maintain the healthcare they desperately need.
It’s shameful.
kffhealthnews.org/news/article...
Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill is the most expensive bill in history, adding trillions to our national debt.
But rather than lowering healthcare or housing costs for families, it gives trillions in tax breaks to millionaires & billionaires, while ripping healthcare away from 17 million Americans.
@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social has been speaking for over 4 hours as we continue the fight to #KillTheBill that would rip healthcare away from 17 million Americans, food assistance away from millions more, and add trillions to our national debt.
All to fund more tax breaks for billionaires.
President Trump’s tariff taxes, federal funding freeze, and general recklessness are already slowing our economy—and workers are paying the price for his chaos.
Just wait until Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill increases healthcare, energy, and grocery costs for hardworking families.
Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill is just another #GOPTaxScam.
It gives another massive handout to the wealthiest 1%, while taking healthcare, food assistance, and educational opportunities away from working class families.
#KillTheBill
Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill would rip healthcare away from 17 MILLION Americans, including 265,000 of our neighbors across Missouri.
All while adding trillions of dollars to our national debt—just to give more tax breaks to billionaires like Donald Trump.
#KillTheBill
Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill will:
-strip healthcare away from 17 million Americans
-take food assistance away from 5 million Americans
-eliminate school meal access for 18+ million kids
-send energy costs soaring
-add $3.3 trillion to the national debt
That's why I'm voting NO!
17 million Americans losing their healthcare. 50,000+ more preventable deaths every year. Children going hungry. Higher electric bills. $3+ trillion added to the debt. Making the rich richer while working people suffer.
That’s Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill.

Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill is the same trickle-down economics that has failed working class families for decades—only on steroids.
It robs from the poor to give another handout to the exorbitantly wealthy, while adding trillions to our national debt.
Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill is the largest wealth transfer from the poor to the wealthy in American history.
It rips healthcare and food assistance away from vulnerable families to fund more tax breaks that overwhelmingly benefit the wealthiest in our communities.
A moral monstrosity.
Democrats cut child poverty nearly in half by expanding the Child Tax Credit.
Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill denies 22 million low-income kids the full benefits they deserve—while also robbing 18 million kids of their free school lunches.

The House is the last line of defense to prevent Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill from becoming law, which would make the largest cuts to Medicaid and SNAP in history to fund more tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires.
I’m traveling to Washington to vote NO on this betrayal of working families.
“We all are going to die” — Senator Ernst
“They’ll get over it” — Senator McConnell
“It’s immaterial” — VP Vance
This is what Republicans think about ripping healthcare away from 16 million working class Americans to fund more tax cuts that overwhelmingly benefit their wealthy donors.
Rural families and hospitals in states like Missouri are already struggling to stay afloat.
Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill will only exacerbate the rural healthcare crisis by defunding local providers and ripping healthcare away from hardworking Missourians.
We must #KillTheBill
WATCH: I traveled to rural parts of Missouri to hear from patients and providers directly
Their message to lawmakers considering Medicaid cuts that would impact their funding?
"There is no more fat to trim" www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-pre...
If Republicans follow through on the largest cut to Medicaid in history, it will hurt families in every state and of every political ideology.
This includes millions of kids, veterans, Americans with disabilities, and so many more.
We must #KillTheBill!

The President’s tariff taxes, funding freezes, and general recklessness are already having an impact on the economy, leading to negative GDP and a slowdown from consumers.
Now, watch what happens if the GOP rips healthcare away from 16 million Americans and makes the largest cut to SNAP in history.
"With its distinctive mix of tax cuts laser-focused on the rich and spending cuts that most hurt middle- and low-income Americans, it would shift more resources up the income ladder than any bill passed since scorekeepers started keeping track.”
www.nytimes.com/2025/06/25/o...
Planned Parenthood provides important services like cancer screenings and prenatal support.
The Supreme Court’s decision to put partisanship over patients will guarantee that Americans are sicker and more will die unnecessarily.
It’s shameful.
