Former US President Barack Obama has slammed President Donald Trump’s mega-spending bill, warning it will put millions of Americans at risk and “hurt working class families for generations”.
As the House of Representatives vote on the rule to bring Mr Trump’s massive tax-cut and spending bill to the floor, Mr Obama took to X to urge Americans to call their representatives and tell them to “vote no”.
“More than 16 million Americans are at risk of losing their health care because Republicans in Congress are rushing to pass a bill that would cut federal funding for Medicaid and weaken the Affordable Care Act,” the former President wrote in the post. “If the House passes this bill, it will increase costs and hurt working class families for generations to come. Call your representative today and tell them to vote no on this bill”.
