🦦The "Big Beautiful Bill" — What It Really Means
Published: 5/27/2025
The House just passed a bill called the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act." Here's what it could mean for you and your family.
Healthcare Cuts
The bill would cut $880 billion from Medicaid and $490 billion from Medicare over 10 years. Millions could lose health coverage or pay more out of pocket. Sources: AP News, KFF, MarketWatch
Judicial Changes
A new rule (§70302) would bar federal courts from spending money to enforce contempt citations, making it far harder for judges to compel officials to follow the law. (Read the text of §70302) Sources: The Guardian, Just Security
Tax Breaks for the Wealthy
Independent analyses show the top 1 % of households would capture roughly a quarter of the bill's tax-cut benefits, while working families get comparatively little. Sources: Tax Policy Center, FactCheck.org
The OTTER Party's Stand
We believe laws should help everyone, not just the wealthy or powerful. We urge the Senate to reject this bill and craft real solutions that protect healthcare, fairness, and democracy for all Americans.
