Whether the American public comes to see the “Big Beautiful Bill” as “beautiful” remains to be seen. A June 26 Quinnipiac poll found 29% of voters support the bill, 55% opposed it, and 16% did not have an opinion. What’s clear is that Democrats will hold the bill against Trump during the 2026 midterm election campaign season.

Minnesota state officials warned the bill would cut $500 million a year in reimbursements for hospital and nursing home coverage.

One health policy professor said cutting Medicaid and similar programs "will be devastating" to millions of Americans.
