There is a reason that the Democrats are not allowing the Republicans their votes to continue governing, taking healthcare and Obamacare from our poorest citizens.
Some individuals in Bowling Green are now receiving letters from insurance companies stating that their current health insurance will be cancelled or more expensive when renewed. This is happening across America since the Republican passage of “The Big Beautiful Bill” that is cutting 700 billion dollars from Medicaid for low income and working class people. 700 Billion dollars in order to give the richest (top .2 of 1 percent) Americans a 235 billion dollar tax break.
The three richest citizens have more wealth than the bottom 170 million citizens. Bernie Sanders has said that the Republican “Big Beautiful Bill” was a Gift to Billionaires, income and wealth inequality for a few hundred families.
Surprise, also hidden in the “Big Beautiful Bill” are drastic cuts to the Affordable Care Act. This law cut more than $1 trillion in health spending. GOP lawmakers had been hoping that knowledge of the cuts in medical services and rise in rates for those taking advantage of the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, would not take effect until after the mid term elections in November 2026.
President Trump and the Republicans know they will be easy to blame, since a full year before anyone casts their vote in November 2026 – meaning now, in the fall of 2025 – the American health care system will begin transitioning from an era of expansion of Obamacare coverage to an era of unprecedented cutbacks.
If you are one of the “lucky” individuals who are now receiving letters from insurance companies stating that their current health insurance will be cancelled or more expensive when renewed do two things. One, share the news with Bob Latta who has been bragging about how wonderful the Republican “Big Beautiful Bill” is going to be good for normal folks. Then write a letter to a local paper telling the Bowling Green community why they should not fail to vote in coming elections. The rich do not need more money in tax breaks.
