Rep. Jason Crow shared grave concerns from constituents regarding potential survival issues linked to President Trump's Big Beautiful Bill. He highlighted fears stemming from the Medicaid cuts that could result in approximately 12 million people losing health insurance. Crow described the bill as the most brutal he has encountered in his political career, emphasizing the dire impact on families needing healthcare for disabled children. House Speaker Mike Johnson affirmed Republican support for the bill and set a deadline for its passage by July 4, despite reported resistance within the party.
I've been talking to my constituents. I've been reading their letters. The fear, the anxiety, I mean, there are literally people that I'm talking to that I represent, Pam, who don't know if they're going to survive, literally survive, this.
The coverage for these disabled children, the care that they need to be able to work, to be able to survive, to be able to get basic care is going to go away.
This is the most brutal thing I have ever seen in my time in public office. And that's my focus. And we're going to talk about it, he said.
House Speaker Mike Johnson has said he has the votes to pass the bill despite some Republican resistance over the bill, including the debt ceiling being raised.
