Congressional Budget Office: Senate Republicans’ Big, Beautiful Betrayal will kick 17 million of Americans off of their insurance and add at least $3.3 trillion to the national debt. 

WASHINGTON, DC – This week, Senate Republicans are pushing to approve trillions of dollars in cuts to healthcare, nutrition assistance, education, and consumer protection, all to fund tax breaks for the ultra-rich, corporations, and themselves. Their agenda—driven in large part by industry groups clamoring for more tax cuts—will kick 17 million of Americans off of their insurance and add at least $3.3 trillion to the national debt. 

“

Take it from Senator Tom Tillis: the Big Beautiful Betrayal would rip away Americans’ health care - no matter how you spin it. It is an abdication of leadership for elected officials to steal food from the plates of 4 million children and strip 17 million Americans of their healthcare to pay for tax cuts for the wealthiest, giant corporations, and Republican lawmakers themselves.”

Accountable.US Executive Director Tony Carrk

What Senate Republicans are endorsing in the Big Beautiful Betrayal: 

Trillions in healthcare funding cuts: Despite promises made to the contrary, Senate Republicans cannot pay for their tax cuts to the wealthy without slashing $1 trillion in Medicaid funding and ultimately causing 17 million Americans to lose their health insurance. Today, Senator Wyden gave senators a chance to save their constituents’ life-saving health care, and instead Senate Republicans doubled down, voting against the amendment. Some senators, like Senator Rick Scott, are pushing for even more drastic cuts to Medicaid. Senator Jim Justice said he has concerns about the Scott amendment, saying that if it passed, he’d “have a hard time” voting yes.

Gutting money-saving consumer protections for millions of Americans: Buried in the 1,000 page bill, Senate Republicans plan to rip nearly half of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s (CFPB) funding, risking the agency that has returned $21 billion to 200 million people through its enforcement actions. President Trump’s attacks against the CFPB have already cost American families $18 billion in higher fees and lost compensation. Today, Senator Warren offered an amendment to restore CFPB funding, which failed after Republicans objected.

Taking food from the plates of children: Per Senator Jeff Merkley, the ranking member of the Senate Budget Committee, Senate Republicans’ betrayal bill would leave 4 million children without access to nutrition assistance. 18 million children could go without free and reduced school lunches. Today, Senator Klobuchar and other Senate Democrats tried to stop it, but Senate Republicans again doubled down on their cruel cuts.

Free reign on AI exploitation and pre-empting states rights to regulate new tech: Even after supposed “caveats,” a contentious AI moratorium that Republicans have included in the budget reconciliation bill would gut state laws aimed at protecting minors from intimate deepfakes, maintaining data privacy, and keeping misinformation out of elections.
