The “Great and Beautiful and Beautiful Law” is entitled “It meets a laundry list for the promises of President Donald Trump’s campaign from taxes to border security.
While Republicans in the House of Representatives continue to negotiate the final details of the legislation, here is a look at some possible ways that the draft law can affect the ordinary Americans, according to recent estimates.
Consider, this Senate is likely to change this draft law significantly and the CBO budget office (CBO) continues to review the legislation.
Some possible effects:
- More than 8 million beneficiaries may lose Medicaid coverage, according to the CBO analysis requested by Democrats in the House of Representatives. Republicans say they are targeting capable adults and immigrants who have no documents, but other beneficiaries can also be affected.
- Snap Food discounts for about $ 230 billion over 10 years, and narrowing the participation in the program that serves approximately eight Americans every month
- The 2017 tax cuts extend Trump
- Trump’s campaign promises to the lack of taxes on advice and no taxes on additional work
- It provides a wall of $ 50 billion to renew the building of the Trump border wall
- Nearly $ 150 billion is committed to defensive spending for shipbuilding and the “Golden Dome” missile defense system
- It is important to note that the effects of the draft law are estimates based on early analysis by the non -partisan Congress budget office. The estimates have not been completed – and the legislative text -.

Changes in Medicaid work requirements
The Republicans say their main goal is to reduce “waste, fraud and abuse” within the Medicaid program, and the health care program for low income and people with disabilities, in order to achieve hundreds of billions of savings over the next decade.
The early estimates that Democrats in the House of Representatives have requested have put the number of people who could lose coverage by more than 8 million, but this number is still fluctuating and the Congress budget office has yet yet its final degree from the Republican Party’s bill, which has not yet ended.
The draft law imposes new work requirements on the capable Medicaid recipients between the ages of 19 and 64 and who do not have two, which includes at least 80 hours per month. The draft law also requires states to redefine eligibility at least every 6 months for all recipients.
The legislation also removes immigrants who are not documented from Medicaid eligibility (according to the White House, this represents about 1.4 million unconventional immigrants who lose the coverage provided through Medicaid government programs).
Under the current text of the draft law, these work requirements are not operated until 2029, when President Trump leaves his position. But Republican Republicans in the House of Representatives are looking to transfer this date until 2026 or 2027 in their negotiations with the leadership.
The draft law also increases Copays for medicaid beneficiaries who make more than federal poverty, for individual beneficiaries of more than $ 15,500. They will be requested to pay an additional 35 -coupay on some visits.
It also increases the medical aid papers required for income and verifying residence, as legislators are looking to eliminate people who are “double” in multiple judicial states. These additional steps are expected to affect the elderly and others who cannot respond immediately.
Sudden
The bill emphasizes eligibility requirements for the additional nutrition assistance program (Snap), which was called “Food Stamps”, which helped nearly 42 million low -income people per month to buy groceries in 2024.
Adults between the ages of 55 and 64 will face additional work requirements to qualify for Snap benefits.
The bill also transports some sudden costs to the states. The program is currently funded by 100 %. The draft law requires this participation in at least 5 percent of the costs of benefits that begin in 2028.
Snap reduces an estimated $ 230 billion over 10 years.
These changes can have an indirect impact on school lunch programs, which requires some of the previously eligible families to apply and influence federal payment payments to some educational areas.
There is no tax on advice and payment of additional work
This addition to the draft law helps Trump to fulfill one of his main promises to his campaign – to exempt workers who receive advice from paying federal income taxes on it, as long as it earns less than $ 160,000 a year. The tax collapse will end at the end of 2028, after the upcoming presidential elections, according to the proposal.
Expand Trump tax cuts
He performs tax discounts from the law of tax cuts and jobs for the permanent year 2017, which complains of the financial falcons that add trillion dollars to the deficit during the next decade; It does not include increasing taxes on the richest owners. Trump released last week that the proposal should not raise taxes on the high centers, “but I am fine if they do that !!!”

Create a Maga Savings account for children
The draft law will create the so -called MAGA savings accounts for parents to open their children. The limit of contributing to any taxable year is $ 5,000. It includes an experimental program to start accounts with $ 1,000.
Lift
The current bill raises the maximum maximum deduction of government taxes and local taxes from the tax deposit of federal income from $ 10,000 to $ 30,000 for joint employees who get less than $ 400,000 a year.
Republicans, such as New York and California, push Republicans to further increase this extent to help their voters. Hardians warn against increasing this deficit limit.
On the campaign’s path, Trump promised to get rid of the Salt Cap, which was imposed by the 2017 Tax Law, which he signed during his first term.
More money to enforce border security
Legislation provides approximately $ 50 billion to revive the building of the Trump wall along the borders of the United States and Mexico and is making immigration policy.
The bill includes $ 4 billion to employ 3,000 new border patrol agents in addition to 5,000 new customs officers, and $ 2.1 billion for signature and retaining bonuses.
There are also funds for 10,000 immigration officers, customs and investigators.
It includes major changes to immigration policy, and a $ 1,000 fee for immigrants looking for asylum, which has not been previously done in the United States.
The draft law includes an increase of 4 trillion dollars to the point of legal debt, as Treasury Secretary Scott Beesen calls for Congress to act by the end of July.
