WASHINGTON (AP) — The House has passed the massive tax and spending cuts package that President Donald Trump calls “beautiful,” getting it to his desk a day before the July 4 deadline that he had set.

A fter an all-day, all-night marathon of intense pressure from the White House, the House Thursday passed and sent to President Donald Trump sweeping legislation to cut taxes but also cut help for the millions of Californians who rely on Medicaid and food assistance.

Congress has signed off on a $3.4 trillion legislative package featuring new tax breaks, spending cuts, and more funding for defense and immigration enforcement, delivering President Donald Trump his “big, beautiful bill” despite rumblings from fiscal hawks about the projected $4 trillion it could add to the national debt over the next decade.

Woodford County Public Health Director Cassie Prather says a significant number of people in the county depend on Medicaid and on the business end a third of the department’s revenue comes from Medicaid insurance and if patients stop coming through the door due to a lack of insurance their clinic is not going to be able to function.

Evidence shows that Medicaid improves people’s health and is particularly vital for babies, older people in need of long-term care and people in rural communities
