The reporting

What the Evidence Shows

The claim states that the 'Big, Beautiful' bill has $1. 1 trillion in health cuts and causes 11. 8 million people to lose health care coverage, according to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO).

This is corroborated by several sources. The New York Times reports that federal spending on Medicaid, Medicare, and Obamacare would be reduced by more than $1. 1 trillion, with over 11 million people losing coverage.

The MoneyControl article also confirms that the Senate bill proposes over $1. 1 trillion in health care cuts over the next decade, with Medicaid accounting for more than 90% of those cuts, and that 11. 8 million Americans could lose health coverage.

The CBO's own publication on the estimated budgetary effects of H. R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, aligns with these figures, providing an official nonpartisan assessment of the bill's impact.

Additional reporting from AP News and other outlets further supports these numbers. Taken together, these sources confirm that the claim accurately reflects the CBO's analysis and the reported impact of the bill on health care spending and coverage loss.
