The Center for American Progress and The Arc break down the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, exposing how its deep cuts to Medicaid and Medicare will lead to benefit losses, increased paperwork requirements, and rural hospital closures that will hurt Americans—especially people with disabilities.
On July 3, Congress passed the sweeping, regressive One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA). Amid the self-imposed rush to deliver the bill to President Donald Trump’s desk by July 4, many Americans will be looking for information about the bill, which was largely debated in the dead of night and pushed through at breakneck speed. This confusion has only been exacerbated by misleading and inaccurate statements about how and whether the bill’s cuts will affect people with disabilities.
In this column, the Center for American Progress and The Arc address the rhetoric surrounding the bill and unpack the devastating impacts that its deep cuts to Medicaid and Medicare, in particular, will have on people with disabilities.
