Donald Trump and MAGA Republican extremists sold Americans health care away to billionaires- irresponsible tax cuts are "blood money"

A big Trump bill, but ‘beautiful’ it is not❗- Echo opinion letter published in The Boston Globe



Benefactors of Donald Trump’s largesse are receiving blood money.

As Republicans twist themselves into unnatural positions to support Donald Trump’s “One Big Beautiful 🤢 Bill,” they must think about how many people, including children, will die* as a result. Rural hospitals will close, children will starve, and millions will lose their health insurance, all to pay for the tax cuts for the president’s billionaire friends. Do those receiving the lion’s share of Trump’s largesse not understand that it is blood money?

From Bruce Zabinsky in Waban, Massachusetts


Reported by BBC *'We are all going to die' - Senator's healthcare comment sparks a bruhaha row.  During a political town hall meeting in Iowa, Senator Joni Ernst addressed an audience member's concerns about reduced spending on Medicaid in Donald Trump's Big Beautiful 🤢 Bill Act by saying: "We are all going to die."💀❗

The Iowa Republican senator went on to post a tongue-in-cheek video from a cemetery saying she made an incorrect assumption that everyone in the auditorium "understood that, yes, we are all going to perish from this Earth".

The bill would require able-bodied recipients to work, participate in job training programs or volunteer for 80 hours a month in order to be eligible for Medicaid, a healthcare program for low-income Americans.

The measure will lower the number of people with healthcare by at least 7.6 million from the Medicaid changes, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.
