President Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” (BBB) is the latest political victory in an action-packed first six months in office. The bill restores some good governance that protects taxpayers and citizens and is a huge boost to working families and entrepreneurs. The bill should increase prosperity and start to slow our unsustainable growth in government spending.
If you listened only to legacy media, you might think the bill does nothing more than kick widows and orphans off government healthcare. There is a reason why trust in media is at an all-time low, and the hysterical misrepresentations regarding the BBB (and all things Trump, really), are Exhibit A. The bill does nothing of the sort.
The BBB does require working-age adults to work or volunteer 20-hours a week, or be enrolled in school, to continue to receive their taxpayer-funded healthcare. Anyone disabled, caring for a child under 14, or pregnant, is exempted from these requirements.Still, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that nearly 5-million people currently receiving government health insurance will not take even that modest step towards independence and self-sufficiency and will lose coverage as a result.
