Senate Passes “Big Ugly Bill,” Betraying the American People Relying on Medicaid & ACA
Despite the no votes of Colorado’s two Senators, the U.S. Senate passed the rushed “big ugly” reconciliation budget bill that will slash over $930 billion from Medicaid and make painful cuts to the Affordable Care Act, harming hundreds of thousands of Coloradans to help subsidize tax breaks for the wealthiest and big corporations. Seventy percent of the bill’s tax benefits will go to the top 5% while costs will go up for the bottom 40% of Americans, and the Congressional Budget Office projects it will add nearly 4 trillion to the deficit.
CO Health Care Advocates Praise Today’s Ruling Protecting Basic, Preventive Benefits Covered under the ACA
Today the Supreme Court voted 6-3 to protect Americans’ access to preventive services under the Affordable Care Act in its ruling on Kennedy, Sec. of H&HS v Braidwood Management, Inc.
But let’s be clear: even with preventive services protected through this ruling, millions of Americans will have their health coverage terminated by the rushed and devastating Republican “Big, Ugly” budget bill if it passes. Preventive service protections don’t work if people have their health insurance stripped from them, and that’s what this bill will do to hundreds of thousands of Coloradans.”
Congress Votes to pass “Big Ugly Bill” and Gut Medicaid and the ACA, Betraying the American People
Today, Rep. Gabe Evans (CO CD-8) voted in the House Energy and Commerce Committee to cut $715 billion from healthcare and Medicaid—slashing health care funding for hundreds of thousands of Coloradans to help subsidize tax breaks for the wealthy and big corporations.
