Trump branded, browbeat and prevailed. But his big bill may come at a political cost
- President Donald Trump persuaded the majority of congressional Republicans to support a multitrillion-dollar bill that includes tax cuts and Medicaid work requirements.
- The bill follows major legislation under Barack Obama and Joe Biden but contradicts Trump's pledge to protect entitlement programs through steep Medicaid cuts.
- Nonpartisan experts estimate that by 2034, 11.8 million additional people will lack health insurance, while Democrats caution that the legislation could strip vulnerable populations of their coverage and reverse longstanding energy regulations.
- The Tax Policy Center estimates that next year the bill will provide approximately $150 in tax relief to those in the lowest income group and about $10,950 in tax cuts to the highest earners, although initial polls indicate the legislation is widely unpopular.
- The bill’s passage may create political challenges similar to those Democrats faced after Obamacare, as Republican states risk vulnerability in upcoming elections.
