Crow Statement on Anniversary of Trump's Big Ugly Bill

WASHINGTON — Congressman Jason Crow (D-CO) released the following statement one year since Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans pushed through their One Big Ugly Bill:

“Americans won’t forget that Republicans cut healthcare to pass a massive tax cut for big corporations and the wealthiest Americans.

“As Republicans pad the pockets of the elite and Donald Trump personally profits billions of dollars off the presidency, working families can’t afford healthcare, housing, and groceries.

“The corruption under this Republican Congress and reckless Administration is staggering and completely unacceptable. The American people are rightfully angry and want accountability. Colorado families deserve better.”

Congressman Crow voted against H.R. 1, Republicans’ One Big Ugly Bill. This law cut healthcare coverage for millions of Americans, is bankrupting rural hospitals, and is adding trillions of dollars to the national debt. In one year alone, thousands of Coloradans who had healthcare under Medicaid, CHIP, and the Affordable Care Act have lost it. As working Americans saw their healthcare and food assistance slashed because of it, the One Big Ugly Bill provided a massive tax cut to giant corporations and the top 1 percent.
