Brooklyn's Congressmembers are vocally opposing the GOP's recent passage of a controversial reconciliation bill entitled 'One Big Beautiful Bill.' This bill threatens critical support for working-class families by implementing drastic cuts to healthcare and food assistance programs. Representative Nydia Velázquez highlighted potential losses of coverage for millions in New York and a $13.5 billion reduction in the state's healthcare resources. She also pointed to the potential elimination of school meals for over 18 million children, showcasing the bill's far-reaching negative consequences for vulnerable populations.
Velázquez condemned the bill for making "the largest cut to food assistance in our nation’s history. It would take meals off the tables of families already struggling to get by."
"Simply put, this bill is a betrayal of working families. In New York alone, millions would lose coverage and $13.5 billion would be ripped from our health care system."
