Mike Levin Slams Passage of GOP’s “Big Ugly Bill” Washington, D.C. — Today, Rep. Mike Levin (CA-49) released the following statement after voting against the so-called “Big Ugly Bill” being pushed by House Republicans and the Trump Administration: “I voted no because this bill is a disaster for working families. It would rip health care away from 14 million Americans—including over 25,000 in my district—by slashing Medicaid and imposing harsh work requirements. It would take food assistance away from up to 10 million Americans. It would drive up household energy bills, even as nearly 80 million Americans already struggle to pay for utilities. “And what’s all this pain for? To pay for giant tax breaks for billionaires like Elon Musk. Meanwhile, the rest of us will be left with a $3.8 trillion increase in the national debt, triggering deep, automatic cuts to Medicare and other vital programs. “President Trump and Speaker Johnson are once again putting billionaire donors ahead of everyday Americans—at the direct expense of children, seniors, veterans, and working families. “This fight is far from over. The bill still has to pass the Senate, and it’s likely to come back to the House. I urge the Senate to reject this cruel, backward legislation and stand up for the people we’re here to serve.” ### Print Email Share Tweet Next Article Previous Article About Serving You News Contact Issues Privacy Policy Twitter Icon Facebook Icon Youtube Icon Bluesky Icon
