Gov. Hochul and U.S. Rep. Torres Speak Out on 'Big Ugly Bill'
President Trump's bill is expected to impact NY's healthcare system by nearly $13B while NY'ers will lose health insurance & SNAP benefits.
Republicans in the House and Senate, including New York’s seven Republican members of Congress, passed a budget bill that cut health care, food assistance, and other critical programs that New Yorkers rely on. President Trump signed the bill into law on July 4, 2025.
