The One Big Beautiful Bill Act added $3.4 trillion to the deficit over ten years. It cut $863 billion from Medicaid and $186 billion from SNAP while permanently extending the 2017 tax cuts that disproportionately benefit high earners. The top 1 percent receives a larger share of the tax benefit than the bottom 60 percent combined.
Medicaid work requirements will strip coverage from an estimated 5.3 million people by December 2026. SNAP work requirements now cover ages 18 through 64, hitting older workers in physically demanding jobs. Starting 2027, states pay 75 percent of SNAP administrative costs instead of the current 50-50 split, creating an incentive to kick people off rather than improve accuracy.
The bill's temporary sweeteners, including tip and overtime tax exemptions, sunset in 2028 before the midterms. The federal school voucher program has no accountability requirements for participating private schools. The 2026 midterms are the first opportunity to repeal the worst provisions. Tell your representatives where you stand.
