The Big Bullshit Bill will not only decimate Medicaid (something that *no* congressional district supports by more than 15%), it will also codify the Trump administration's proposed changes to the ACA and allow its federal subsidies to expire. Millions of Americans will lose coverage.

Georgia’s alternative to Medicaid expansion has been a costly failure:
•$86M spent with only 6,500 enrollees in 18 months—75% below projections.
•Georgia now has the lowest insurance rate in the U.S., with 16% uninsured working-age adults.
This “experiment” highlights ideology over efficiency.

Georgia Touts Its Medicaid Experiment as a Success. The Numbers Tell a Different Story.
Only 6,500 participants have enrolled in a program that has cost taxpayers more than $86 million — a warning for other states looking to impose restrictions on Medicaid in a second Trump presidency.
