Obama Attempts To Derail Trump
WASHINGTON, D.C. — July 2, 2025
In a heated showdown over President Donald Trump’s sweeping new budget plan, former President Barack Obama is urging Americans to call Congress and stop what he calls a “disastrous” Republican bill. The legislation, which has already passed the Senate, is set to dramatically reshape federal healthcare spending—including major cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, and the Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare).
Obama took to social media platform X on Wednesday with a message aimed at rallying liberal opposition.
“Over 16 million Americans could lose health coverage if Republicans pass this bill,” Obama claimed. “This would gut Medicaid and dismantle the Affordable Care Act.”
He warned that if the House moves forward, costs will rise, and “working-class families will suffer for generations.” He urged Americans to call their representatives and demand a ‘no’ vote.
What’s in Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill”?
President Trump’s budget reform—nicknamed the “big, beautiful bill” by supporters—is being hailed by fiscal conservatives as the most ambitious government overhaul in decades. The bill aims to:
- Cut $1 trillion in federal healthcare spending
- Roll back massive expansions under the Obama-Biden administration
- Strengthen the economy by reducing the federal deficit crisis
- Encourage state-level healthcare solutions
The bill faces pushback not only from Democrats but also from a handful of moderate Republicans who worry about messaging in an election year. Yet conservative leaders argue the nation cannot afford to kick the can down the road any longer.
Senate Battle: Vance Breaks the Tie
The Senate passed the measure late Tuesday after a grueling 27-hour amendment vote marathon. Vice President JD Vance cast the tie-breaking vote, helping push the legislation through despite unified Democrat opposition and dissent from GOP Senators Rand Paul (KY), Thom Tillis (NC), and Susan Collins (ME).
According to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), the bill could lead to 11.8 million Americans losing government-subsidized health insurance by 2034—1 million more than the House version previously estimated.
What This Means for Retirees and Middle-Class Families
While the mainstream media runs headlines about “healthcare cuts,” here’s the truth:
✅ Medicare is not being eliminated—the bill targets fraud, waste, and unsustainable expansions
✅ Retirees may benefit long-term from a more stable economy and reduced inflation
✅ Middle-class taxpayers could see lower pressure from the exploding federal debt
✅ Seniors and veterans remain protected under separate spending safeguards
The Bottom Line: Government Reform vs. Big-Government Fear Tactics
This bill is about restoring fiscal sanity after years of reckless spending under Obama and Biden. President Trump is delivering on his promise to drain the swamp, cut waste, and put America First.
Obama’s last-minute appeal is no surprise—but the real question is: Will Congress stand with working Americans, retirees, and taxpayers—or cling to a broken system?
