Louisiana Leaders React to Passing of President Donald Trump’s ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’
- On July 3, 2025, Congress passed the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act' tax and spending package, which President Trump signed into law on July 4 in Washington, D.C.

- Key provisions include $1.1 trillion in Medicaid and ACA cuts over ten years, work requirements starting in 2026, and freezing or reducing state healthcare payments beginning immediately or by 2028.

- Critics warn the law disproportionately benefits wealthier Americans, threatens rural hospital closures, deepens economic inequality, and eliminates major clean energy incentives.
