US EditionSBA Pro-Life America Responds to Trump Comments on Hyde Amendment
Trump urged GOP to consider flexibility on the Hyde Amendment to aid health subsidy talks as 22.4 million Americans rely on ACA subsidies, according to KFF.
- Yesterday, President Donald Trump told the House GOP conference at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts to be `“a little flexible on Hyde,”` linking it to health costs and the upcoming midterm elections.
- The enhanced ACA subsidies expired at the end of 2025, driving urgent congressional negotiations as KFF found 24.3 million use the marketplace and almost 22.4 million receive subsidies.
- Other national pro‑life groups issued similar statements Tuesday, while Americans United for Life CEO John Mize cited polling showing nearly 6 in 10 Americans back Hyde and warned abandoning it would betray supporters.
- Pro‑life leaders warned Republicans they risk losing votes this November if they drop Hyde, as a bipartisan group of senators met Monday and House GOP leadership plans a procedural vote Wednesday with a final vote Thursday.
- Among President Donald Trump's early actions after taking office was an executive order in January 2025 enforcing Hyde, while pro‑life leaders warned abandoning Hyde could `leave the Republican Party in pieces` in coming years.
