“over the past few days, Donald Trump has bent over backwards to try to sell his so-called Big Beautiful Bill with a new lie. He said no one will lose healthcare coverage. He says no benefits will be slashed. He says the bill won't harm a single recipient. He is lying. This is all total nonsense, and Senate Republicans need to reject Donald Trump's snake oil sales pitch. I implore my Senate colleagues, tread carefully with your Big Beautiful Bill. If you pass this bill, it won't be Donald Trump's soothing words that will be enacted in your States but, rather, deep and devastating harm to your constituents. And your constituents, Senate Republicans, will hold you responsible for going along with Donald Trump's ruse. If you go down this road, he will take away coverage from kids, from seniors, from parents, from moms. You will put doctors and nurses out of work. You will put rural hospitals in particular jeopardy since they depend on Medicaid, Medicare, and government help to stay going. They are often the biggest employer in your rural counties, Senate Republicans. They are often the only source of healthcare. When Americans see this is all to make the ultrarich even richer, they will know that it was this nasty bill that made it happen. Donald Trump's Big Beautiful Bill is repeal and replace by another name. Here are the facts: Under the bill, over 14 million would lose healthcare coverage. As bad as this bill is, we just got news that it will get even worse.…”
