The Republican Tax Scam in 10 Numbers

1. 17 million

   The number of Americans who will lose their health insurance due to $1 trillion of health care cuts, including $793 billion from Medicaid and $268 billion from the ACA Marketplaces – the largest cuts to federal support for health programs in the nation’s history.

2. 5 million

   The number of SNAP recipients who will be at risk of losing their benefits due to the $300 billion in cuts to nutrition assistance in the bill. This is 1 out of every 8 SNAP recipients. All 40 million SNAP recipients – 2 in 5 of which are children – will see their benefits slashed and costs rise.

3. $2,200

   The average increase in annual out-of-pocket costs for adults who lose their Medicaid coverage due to the bill’s health care cuts.

4. $1,600

   How much the lowest-income households in the country will lose every year thanks to the devastating cuts in this bill, all while the highest earners get an additional $12,000 annually, and the top 0.1% get an additional $100,000 annually.

5. 1.75 million

   The number of construction jobs that will be eliminated by the bill’s attack on clean energy projects. This translates to $148 billion of annual lost wages and benefits for hardworking Americans.
