Will Americans lose their health insurance due to the "big, beautiful bill"?

Asked 6 hours ago

Answer

The 'big, beautiful bill' signed by President Trump includes major cuts to social programs such as Medicaid, which is expected to contract and affect millions of Americans. This could lead to the loss of health insurance for vulnerable populations, particularly those in rural areas, as hospitals may close and access to care diminishes. The bill's impact is a source of concern for critics who fear negative consequences for healthcare access.
