In the wee hours of the morning, House Republicans pushed through President Donald Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill,” a proposal that dramatically cuts Medicaid, in part by imposing strict work requirements on recipients. The hastily devised plan amounts to a reckless attack on health care that covers some 83 million low-income Americans. The bill was rushed to a vote on May 22 before the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office even had a chance to analyze its impact.
