Nashua, N.H. – Earlier this week, Congresswoman Maggie Goodlander (NH-02) and Congressman Chris Pappas (NH-01) held a roundtable discussion at St. Joseph Hospital with President John Jurczyk and staff about the harmful impact of the Republicans’ so-called “One Big, Beautiful Bill.” This legislation makes devastating cuts to Medicaid funding that is critical for New Hampshire hospitals and their ability to provide care to patients.
“The Trump Administration is making the biggest cuts to healthcare in American history. For what? To pay for another big tax giveaway to billionaires and big corporations. These GOP healthcare cuts are going to jack up healthcare costs for everyone in New Hampshire,” said Congresswoman Goodlander. “Hardworking people will feel the pain and pay the price, and that includes hardworking healthcare providers like the team at St. Joe’s Hospital. From Nashua to the North Country, I’ll never stop working to protect your healthcare.”
“The health care cuts contained in the Big Ugly Law will have severe repercussions across New Hampshire communities, from our hospitals to our rural health care centers to our nursing homes. I joined leaders and staff of St. Joseph Hospital to talk about these impacts and what it means for their operations and ability to provide care to patients,” said Congressman Pappas. “I’m thankful for all they do for Granite Staters and the way they continue to meet the needs of patients across southern New Hampshire.”
President Trump and Republicans’ Big, Ugly Law made deep cuts to health care and food programs for working families to cover the cost of $5 trillion in tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy. It will leave an estimated 15 million Americans uninsured, including more than 46,000 Granite Staters; trigger $500 billion in cuts to Medicare; increase monthly out-of-pocket costs for families and leave more Americans with overwhelming medical debt; defund Planned Parenthood, leaving more than 1.1 million women without access to needed care like cancer screenings and birth control; and kick millions of Americans off SNAP, leaving them unable to put food on the table – all to give tax breaks to billionaires and big Pharma.
