DONALD TRUMP’S ONE BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL effectively accomplishes what he failed to do in his first term: repealing much of the Affordable Care Act.

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) is downplaying concerns over Medicaid cuts from President Trump's "big, beautiful bill." Former Rep. Barbara Comstock and former Rep. Donna Edwards join Alex Witt to break down the impact of the megabill on Americans.

As Republicans face criticism for slashing Medicaid, Hawley tried to shift the focus to a less-noticed part of the law that will benefit victims of nuclear waste.

Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" is now law. It will change Medicaid work requirements and limit federal funding for healthcare and hospitals.

President Trump’s big tax law includes a major provision the GOP has endorsed for years: work requirements for Medicaid recipients and for food stamp benefits. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that 11.
