• Medicaid: implementation of work requirements, reduction of taxes for providers from 6% to 3.5%
• Border Security: $175 billion
• Defense: $150 billion
• Debt Ceiling: increase by $5 trillion
• Financial Consequences

Estimates of the bill's effects

• The bill will add $3.3 trillion to the national debt over 10 years

Next Steps

The bill now moves to the House of Representatives, where Speaker Mike Johnson plans to hold a vote on Wednesday. Republicans aim to enact the law by July 4 - Independence Day in the U.S.

However, dissatisfaction is growing in the House: conservatives criticize the impact on the deficit, while moderates are concerned about cuts to Medicaid.

After tense voting in the U.S. Senate, President Trump's bill was approved by a narrow margin of one vote. However, its passage in the House of Representatives may become a subject of intense debate due to its financial consequences and the potential loss of health insurance for millions of Americans.
