US EditionSNAP Changes Proposed in GOP's 'Big, Beautiful bill.' Here's What to Know
- House Republicans are close to passing the over 1,000-page 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act' by Memorial Day in the U.S. House.
- After months of committee work, the effort aims to permanently extend the 2017 tax reductions on personal earnings and inheritance, while also enhancing border security measures.
- The bill includes roughly $700 billion in Medicaid spending cuts, $267 billion reduction in food aid, new work requirements, $46.5 billion for border wall construction, and a $1,000 asylum fee.
- The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates Medicaid changes could reduce health coverage for at least 7.6 million people, and House Democrats call it "this extreme and toxic bill."
- If passed, the bill would reshape tax policy, immigration enforcement, and social programs amid ongoing GOP divisions and unified Democratic opposition.
