Washington D.C — The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released a new analysis of the Republican Tax Law and it’s bad news for Americans who like having health insurance. According to the report, the tax law will leave over 15 million Americans without health coverage, slash nearly $200 billion from SNAP, and explode the federal deficit by $3.4 trillion – all to ensure millionaires and billionaires get another tax break.
“It’s easy to see why the vast majority of Americans oppose this pro-billionaire agenda,” said Unrig Our Economy Campaign Director Leor Tal. “Republicans in Congress just jeopardized health coverage for millions of Americans, SNAP benefits for millions of children and families, and the existence of hundreds of rural hospitals across the country – all so they could give another tax break to the richest of the rich. We will continue to hold Republicans’ feet to the fire for voting for this massive betrayal of American families.”
