Big Beautiful Bill Passes in Congress

Senate Passes “One Big Beautiful Bill” — What It Means for Marion County & Rural America

The U.S. Senate just approved Trump’s sweeping “One Big Beautiful Bill,” claiming tax relief—but here’s what that really means for families like ours:

⸻

SNAP: Heaviest Cuts in History

• $294 billion slashed over 10 years

• SC now forced to cover 75% of administrative costs & 5% of all benefits

Expect fewer people served, longer wait times, and lower economic activity in local stores and markets

⸻

Medicaid: More Cuts, Less Care

• $930 billion cut from Medicaid, Medicare, and the ACA

• Leaves up to 11 million more Americans uninsured by 2034

Rural hospitals in Marion County may close or reduce services, forcing patients to drive further and face bigger bills

⸻

Taxes & Deficit: Rewriting the Numbers

• The bill extends $4.5 trillion in tax cuts, including for business and personal income—mostly benefiting wealthier households

• It’s projected to add $3.3–3.9 trillion to the federal deficit over the next decade

That means future cuts to education, infrastructure, and emergency services may be on the table to cover rising interest costs

⸻

What’s Next

• Senate passed it on July 1, but changes were made to the version the House approved earlier

• It must now return to the House for a final vote before it can be sent to President Trump
