Republicans’ Big Betrayal of Nevadans

Dear Nevadan,

Last week, Donald Trump signed Republicans’ cruel “One Big Beautiful Bill” into law. Let’s call this what it really is: one big betrayal of working families in Nevada and across this country.

This extreme tax and spending law includes the biggest cuts to Medicaid and food assistance in American history, kicking thousands of Nevadans off their health care and risking kids going to bed hungry just to pay for more tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy.

I fought all through the night – voting for more than 24 hours on the floor of the U.S. Senate – to stop this cruel bill from passing. But time and time again, Republicans doubled down and rejected even the most basic protections for Medicaid and SNAP recipients, rural hospitals, and job-creating clean energy tax credits.

Let’s take a closer look at some of the most harmful parts of this Republican bill.

NEW LAW SLASHES MEDICAID AND FOOD ASSISTANCE

More than 700,000 Nevadans rely on Medicaid – including veterans, people with cancer and chronic illnesses, and seniors in nursing homes. Over the past few months, I’ve heard heartbreaking stories from Nevadans who are alive today thanks to medical care they get through Medicaid. It’s literally a LIFELINE.

But because of Congressional Republicans’ cruel Medicaid cuts, more than 100,000 Nevadans could lose this lifeline. And it’s not just individual Medicaid recipients who will be hurt by cuts to Medicaid – it’s also our hospitals. According to a new report, Republicans’ extreme cuts would slash nearly a quarter of a billion dollars in funding for Nevada hospitals, which could lead to limited services or even forced closures and make it harder for ALL families to access care. Nevadans with health insurance through the Affordable Care Act’s marketplace could also see their premiums skyrocket by hundreds of dollars every year.

The Republican law also cuts SNAP – a critical food assistance program that helps working families put food on the table and keeps kids from going to bed hungry. And it’s all so funding that could be used to help keep people healthy and fed will instead pay for more tax breaks for billionaires.

WHO ARE THE WINNERS?

Hardworking Nevadans will be hurt by this big betrayal. So who’s it all for? Nonpartisan analysis shows that billionaires get the benefits of huge tax cuts on the backs of Americans who need help the most. In fact, this is the BIGGEST wealth transfer to the ultra-wealthy in our nation’s history.

As my constituent, I want to hear from you: Do you agree that it’s wrong to kick thousands of Nevadans off of Medicaid and SNAP to put more money in billionaires’ pockets?
We should be building an economy that works for everyone, not just those at the top. That’s what I’ll keep fighting for as your United States Senator.
