– BBB. On Tuesday afternoon, the Senate pass President Trump’s domestic spending bill branded “large bills”. The legislation has been the subject of battle and contempt between Republicans and Democrats, ending up with a 51-50 razor gap of 51-50, while Vice President JD Vance voted for a tiebreaker.
The legislation will affect every aspect of American society – for the people and enterprises. However, the bill removes the American Social Security Network, which means women will be particularly affected.
According to the Congressional Budget Office, the main purpose of the current iteration of the bill is to cut Medicaid, Medicare and the Affordable Care Act by up to $1.1 trillion over the next decade. Currently, 24 million women are enrolled in Medicaid; according to 56% of these women’s reproductive age Research From the National Women and Family Partnership. Women of color also make up more than half of the group.
“Given access to health care as a social issue, but the truth is, we’re also talking about a crucial economic issue: it’s crucial to be healthy and be able to participate in the workforce () to keep the American capitalist system moving forward,” said Cynthia Plotch, co-founder of Winx Health.
The bill would cut off Medicaid funds for abortion providers, For example, family planning. Although the Hyde Amendment prevents federal funds from covering abortion, the bill would prohibit Medicaid from covering any non-abortion services provided by Planned Parenthood, such as STI testing and cancer screening.
“Whether it’s abortion (or other care), more and more women are denied care, the more likely they are to face debt, financial instability, and evacuate themselves from the workforce due to unwanted children,” Plotch said.
The biggest cuts in Medicaid will come from new job requirements, where enrollers must consistently submit paperwork to prove that they work at least 80 hours a month. “This is really based on outdated racism and sexist stereotypes for those beneficiaries,” said Sharmili Majmudar, executive vice president of policy, program and research for the Chicago-based nonprofit. According to research by the Millbank Memorial Foundation, four out of five non-exercise, bodybuilding adults are women with an average age of 41, a foundation focused on population health and equity.
Currently, the bill is walking through the house, where it faces resistance from several Republican members. Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-la.) have been meeting with Key Holdout before the July 4 deadline. Women in the Senate and House of Representatives are key voices in a situation where they are totally opposed to legislation and use their political power to influence the end result of the bill as swing votes. Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) voted critically on the bill, admit Legislation “in many parts of the country, some Americans won’t have an advantage”; her persistence helped Alaska provides more funding. Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Wednesday laugh at The bill on the floor of the house says that if her Republican colleagues think the bill is beautiful, they will suffer from “very blurry vision.”
