I urge you not to sign the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, as it threatens to strip healthcare coverage from 11–17 million Americans, according to the Congressional Budget Office and independent analysts. The House version slashes nearly $1 trillion from Medicaid, risking coverage loss for 12 million, while ACA subsidy and Medicaid reforms combined could push another 5 million into uninsurance . This is not just a humanitarian concern—it’s a steep economic miscalculation. When millions go uninsured, they delay preventative and routine care. That leads to costlier emergency interventions, rising uncompensated care burdens on hospitals, and higher premiums for employers and taxpayers. For example, states would lose billions in GDP and thousands of jobs if ACA premium credits expire—similar effects loom here . Moreover, a robust meta‑analysis shows a strong positive correlation between health insurance and economic performance (r ≈ 0.43), meaning not having coverage hurts economic productivity and growth . Deloitte also estimates that improving health equity could add $2.8 trillion to GDP by 2040. This bill does the opposite—pulling millions off insurance at a time when coverage and health equity are crucial to economic stability. In short, signing this bill means trading short-term tax breaks for long-term economic damage: millions more uninsured, bloated emergency room use, hospital closures, increased debt, and compromised public health. Americans deserve a healthcare system that strengthens—not undermines—our economic resilience. For the sake of our health and fiscal future, I implore you: please veto this bill.
