The room exceeded President Donald Trump “A great nice bill“Thursday, the sending of cruel legislation to the Dear Leader office. The bill, once promulgated, should exceed health care since 17 million Americans And food coupons of millions of others During the next decade, all to partially pay the tax discounts which massively benefit the richest.
The bill was adopted by a vote of 218-214, all the Democrats and only two Republicans voted in opposition.
This overcomes the supposed concerns of so-called moderate republicans, which are not politically moderate but simply represent competitive house districts. Before Thursday’s vote, many of these Republicans in the Swing District – such as David Valadao de California representatives, Jeff Van Drew of New Jersey, Don Bacon from Nebraska, Dan Newhouse from Washington, Juan Ciscomani from Arizona and Rob Bresnahan de Pennsylvani – Truths on the massive cups of Medicaid of the bill. However, when the time has come for them to position it, they nevertheless gave and voted for the bill.
And then there were the far -right Republicans, who in large said They could not conscientiously vote for a bill which added billions of billions to the federal deficit. But they too, they gave in after twisting their arms by a dear chef.
“Last night, a group of Republicans in the House said how horrible this bill was,” said Senator Elizabeth Warren, Massachusetts Democrat, wrote In an article on X. “Taken only a few hours, a few goods and a few words from Donald Trump, and they queue to scam the health care of 17 million people. I am unfortunately not surprised – but I am still indignant. ”
The bill is now going to Trump, who plans to sign Dogshit legislation on July fourth– by meaning that he will spend his independence day Bringing health care and nutritional assistance From millions in order to give the rich a tax reduction.
“Let’s be clear. While we are celebrating on July 4 of this year, it is not patriotic to throw 16 million Americans from the health care they have, “said Progressive Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont wrote In an article on X. “No member of the Chamber who votes today for this disastrous bill should be re -elected.”
While the Republicans celebrate the adoption of the bill, the Democrats warn that it will only be a Pyrrhic victory. The Democratic Party plans to suspend the extremely unpopular Legislation around the neck of the GOP during the mid-term elections of 2026.
In a record speech that lasts More than 8 hours and 32 minutesThe chief of the Hakeem Jeffries House has castigated the republican bill, adage This violates the principles they pray in the Bible.
“We will continue until the victory is won”, he said.
And the head of the minority of the Senate Chuck Schumer said After the Senate adopted the bill, “this vote haunts the Republicans for the years to come.”
In fact, even the president of the room Mike Johnson warned Its members who adopt the bill were probably the death knell of its narrow majority, due to the deep cups of Medicaid of the bill. However, rather than modifying the bill, he adopted the version of the Senate and perhaps sealed the fate of his speaker.
In the meantime, the bill already causes pain to Americans.
For example, a Rural Nebraska hospital announced on Wednesday that it would close due to the expected cups of Medicaid.
“Unfortunately, the current financial environment, driven by the federal budget reductions provided for in Medicaid, prevented us from continuing to exploit all our services, many of whom have faced significant financial challenges for years,” said Troy Bruntz, CEO of the community hospital in Nebraska ,,, said In a statement to a local television station.
In addition, the Democratic Governor Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania said that changes in the bill on the additional nutrition aid program threaten the program in the state of Keystone.
“There is [a] A real question as to whether we would even be able to operate or no longer longer, given the change in the formula and taking into account the people who will be eliminated, “said Shapiro at a press conference on Monday.
Excellent work, republicans!
