House Republicans are pushing forward President Donald Trump’s comprehensive bill that includes tax breaks, spending cuts, and increased border security, aiming to pass it by Memorial Day despite strong Democratic opposition. The bill, titled the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” spans over 1,100 pages and is a key legislative focus led by Speaker Mike Johnson. However, the GOP faces internal divisions, with concerns raised by fiscal conservatives and swing district Republicans about its impact on Medicaid and healthcare coverage for constituents.
The legislative package includes over $5 trillion in tax cuts, with a focus on making individual income tax cuts permanent and fulfilling Trump’s campaign promises. It proposes changes to clean energy tax credits and adjustments to standard deductions and child tax credits. Medicaid spending reductions of nearly $800 billion are also a key feature, introducing new work requirements and verification processes that could affect millions of Americans’ healthcare coverage.
Furthermore, the bill seeks to defund Planned Parenthood and eliminate taxes on gun silencers, while introducing a unique savings account program for children born between 2024 and 2028. It also allocates significant funds for Trump’s immigration and deportation agenda, including border wall construction, additional Border Patrol and ICE officers, and changes to asylum-seeking fees.
On the education front, the bill proposes a major overhaul of student loans, a tax increase on university endowments, and changes to repayment plans. It also allows for increased leasing of public lands for resource extraction, potentially impacting environmental policies and revenue generation. Additionally, the legislation includes provisions for defense spending, missile defense systems, and servicemember quality of life improvements.
Despite Democratic opposition and concerns raised by various groups, the House Republicans are determined to advance Trump’s ambitious bill, aiming to address a wide range of policy areas from healthcare and education to immigration and national security.
