Some Republican Voters Support Trump-Backed Immigration Bill — Until Health Concerns Are Raised

  • On May 22, the Republican leader from Louisiana successfully guided President Trump's 'One Big Beautiful Bill' through the House, narrowly securing its approval by just one vote.
  • The bill was introduced to prolong Trump's 2017 tax reductions, cut funding for domestic initiatives including Medicaid, and add work requirements for Medicaid recipients, sparking criticism that it seeks to undermine the Affordable Care Act.
  • The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office projected the bill would cut Medicaid spending by $793 billion over 10 years and cause nearly 8 million more uninsured, while hospitals anticipate large funding cuts.
  • A June 4-8 KFF poll of 1,321 adults showed nearly two-thirds of adults oppose the bill, with support dropping sharply even among MAGA backers after learning it risks reducing Medicaid coverage and hospital funding.
  • The poll also found Medicaid and the ACA hold their highest favorability since 2010, though views remain divided along party lines, with Republicans holding more unfavorable opinions than Democrats and independents.
