Doctors Prescribe Opposition to “Big, Beautiful Bill”
Vote on Trump policy package expected soon
President Trump wants his “Big, Beautiful Bill” voted on and passed by July 4th — symbolizing America’s freedom from taxes on the very wealthy and Medicaid for the working poor, I suppose.
The U.S. Senate is working diligently toward that goal, it seems — with a House vote expected to happen not long after Senate passage (IF the Senate does, indeed, pass the bill).
A group of Tennessee doctors is calling on their legislators to oppose the bill:
Dr. Amy Gordon Bono, a primary care physician practicing in Middle TN, stated, “We physicians are appalled at the attacks on truth, on science, on healthcare. We know that these proposed healthcare funding cuts and restrictions on proven medical therapies will mean death for some and harm to us all.”
The group suggested that the bill would lead to a loss of health insurance (through TennCare) for an estimated 250,000 Tennesseans.
