Whether the American public comes to see the “Big Beautiful Bill” as “beautiful” remains to be seen. A June 26 Quinnipiac poll found 29% of voters support the bill, 55% opposed it, and 16% did not have an opinion. What’s clear is that Democrats will hold the bill against Trump during the 2026 midterm election campaign season.

Low-income green card holders still within the mandatory five-year waiting period for Medicaid would be among those most affected.

In the classic Schoolhouse Rock song “I’m Just a Bill,” the bill laments the prospect of waiting with other bills, hoping to become a law. But President Donald Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” didn’t have to wait—it sped through Congress in recent days and landed on his desk in time for him to sign it into law by his July 4 deadline.
