                 GOP TAX SCAM HURTS WOMEN AND FAMILIES

  (Mrs. TRAHAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. TRAHAN. Mr. Speaker, proponents of Donald Trump's so-called big, 
beautiful bill are lying to the American people. They claim it won't 
cut Medicaid, but it slashes $715 billion, gutting care for seniors and 
children with disabilities.
  They insist moms and kids won't lose food assistance, but this bill 
will cut SNAP benefits for over 7 million Americans, stripping food 
from families' tables.
  They say new red tape will improve efficiency. Come on, we know 
better. New GOP paperwork hurdles will cause millions of eligible 
Americans to lose Medicaid and SNAP, not because they don't qualify, 
but because they missed a form or got stuck in the system.
  We have seen it before in Arkansas, Georgia, and New Hampshire. 
Republicans tried this approach, and people suffered.
  Why are they doing it? They are doing it to fund tax breaks for 
billionaire donors--who won't have to fill out a single form, by the 
way.
  Are these your priorities, tax cuts for the rich paid for by taking 
healthcare and food assistance away from everyone else? Prove us wrong. 
Reject this bill, and stand up for working families.
