One in four nursing homes have said they’ll close facilities because of the “Big, Beautiful Bill” – and they passed it anyway.
Talk to, essentially, ANY families who have moved someone into long term care recently. There’s not exactly a surplus of facilities around today…
The "Big Beautiful Bill" is a big betrayal of the American people.
When @POTUS signed this legislation into law, he signed away health care for millions of families, food assistance and energy programs that lower utility bills all to give more money to the wealthiest Americans.
This is the Republican legacy.
As the communities begin to assess the damage from catastrophic flooding in Texas, my heart is with all those mourning devastating loss or still searching for loved ones. Thank you to all the first responders working around the clock to help.
