The House has passed President Trump's so-called "big beautiful bill."
Lawmakers approved the massive spending plan this morning with all Democrats and two Republicans voting against it.
Congressman Gabe Amo was not thrilled about any part of the GOP measure.
“This budget debate is about values. And House Republicans just made their values very clear. They held overnight markups, they made backroom deals, and they tried to jam their bill through in the middle of the night. But their values of cutting health care, school meals, mental health services, nursing home care, and the chance at a higher education for millions of Americans are on full display because of Democrats' work.
The big, bad bill Republicans rammed through the House will hurt tens of thousands of Rhode Islanders to give billionaires a tax break. Their broken promise and betrayal of the American people transfers wealth from the bottom 10 percent to the top 10 percent." Amo said.
If passed by the Senate, the bill would make big cuts to Medicaid with an estimated seven-point-six million Americans losing health insurance over the next ten years.
The Senate has already promised that they will make changes.
