The House Just Passed Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill” — Here’s What Happens Next

Jeffries said the bill amounted to an assault on health care and would “effectively end Medicaid as we know it.”

Several moderate Republicans said they had qualms about the bill’s Medicaid cuts, but Fitzpatrick was the only one who followed through. For one, Rep. David Valadao (R-Calif.), who said Saturday, “I will vote no,” voted yes. 

Johnson and other top Republicans insisted the bill does not cut Medicaid, that it merely reduces “waste, fraud and abuse,” in patently untrue statements.
