WASHINGTON –  U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) released the following statement on the Senate’s passage of the Republicans’ Big Beautiful Betrayal:

“Congressional Republicans betrayed the American people, passing a bill that will raise our debt by $4 trillion, kick millions people off their health care, close more than 300 rural hospitals and 500 nursing homes, and raise grocery prices for 40 million people — all to pay for tax cuts for the richest Americans.

“This is a betrayal of the parents trying to put food on the table. It’s a betrayal of the seniors who rely on Medicaid and Medicare to pay for assisted living. It’s a betrayal of people who live in rural America. And it’s a betrayal of young Americans who will pay $1,000 more a year for mortgages because of higher interest rates — putting the American Dream even further out of reach.

“What we should be doing is working together to bring down costs and make life easier for all Americans — not raising costs by putting the wealthy ahead of everyone else. I urge the House to reject this bill.”
