Indiana Medicaid and SNAP Advocates React to Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’
- The House of Representatives passed the 'One Big, Beautiful Bill' early Thursday morning by a single vote, advancing it to the Senate for consideration.
- The bill continues the tax cuts introduced during Trump's administration in 2017, eliminates federal taxes on gratuities and overtime pay, dedicates close to $50 billion for restarting the construction of the border wall, and suggests more than $1.5 trillion in reductions to federal funding, impacting programs such as Medicaid and SNAP.
- While GOP lawmakers argue the bill protects essential programs for those most in need, advocates express concern that it will severely harm healthcare and food assistance for vulnerable Indiana residents and nationwide.
- The Congressional Budget Office estimates $267 billion in SNAP cuts and predicts 8.6 million Americans would lose Medicaid coverage, with Feeding Indiana's Hungry warning the cost shift could total $356 million in Indiana.
- If enacted, the legislation may lead to substantial reductions in health and nutrition programs, increasing hardship for low-income families and straining local support networks across Indiana and beyond.
