Senate Bill Could Strip Health Coverage from 12 Million Americans, Add $3.3 Trillion to Debt. A controversial budget bill backed by President Donald Trump is facing fierce criticism after a new report from the Congressional Budget Office, estimated it could leave nearly 12 million Americans without health insurance and increase the national debt by $3.3 trillion. The legislation, known as the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act," narrowly advanced in the Senate, with two Republicans siding against it. Senator Thom Tillis, one of the defectors, said the healthcare cuts were too severe and confirmed he won't seek re-election. The bill includes $1 trillion in Medicaid reductions and slashes other health programs, while offering major tax cuts—mostly benefiting the wealthy. Democrats warn it would devastate vulnerable Americans, while Republicans say it curbs waste and fraud. With Trump pushing for final approval before July 4, the bill's future remains hotly debated on Capitol Hill.
