How Trump’s megabill will impact health care
The massive tax cut legislation passed by the House and Senate this week will dramatically upend health care in America.
The legislation, now on its way to President Trump, was never framed as a health bill, but it will mark the biggest changes to U.S. health policy since the Affordable Care Act (ACA) was passed in 2010.

Elon Musk is right: the massive cash giveaway to the richest at the expense of the poorest that Senate Republicans passed this week is “utterly insane and destructive.”
Average Americans, and soon enough many Republican politicians, will regret the budget bill President Trump and the far-right have cooked up if, as expected, the full Congress passes a final version of the bill into law before the July 4 holiday. The bill will sell out the future of hundreds of millio...
‘It’s harsh. I mean, brutal’: Trump bill to cause most harm to America’s poorest
President embraces Robin-Hood-in-reverse policies to benefit wealthiest and hurt those earning under $50,000

Psaki: Republicans will regret passing Trump’s bill as Democrats look to reprise 2018’s House flip
Jen Psaki looks back at how Democrats made Republicans pay for their efforts to kill Obamacare by making that a central focus of House races that ultimately flipped the House to Democratic control. Donald Trump's budget bill is so wildly unpopular that Democratic candidates are already preparing to run against the bill and anyone who supported it. Republicans, in the meantime, are busy trying to distract Americans from what they're doing.
