Faith leaders across Green Country working to prepare the community for anticipated program cuts in the recently passed Big, Beautiful Bill.As one pastor tells

President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill delivers the largest tax cuts in decades. But the benefits aren’t evenly distributed, and some taxpayers will gain far more than others.

The 900-page federal bill is expected to promote private schools at the expense of public ones, reduce student loan options and food assistance, cut into school budgets and heavily tax private university endowments.

These reductions will create real challenges for all health systems, including ours,” said Mary Mannix, President and CEO of Augusta Health.

Experts warn that cuts to Medicaid could further erode protections for contraception access. “State policies are really shaping the reality of contraceptive access on the ground, especially because the federal protections are crumbling." - Cathryn Streifel, senior program director at the Population Reference Bureau

Cuts to SNAP and Medicaid benefits could hurt low-income workers, while tax breaks in the same bill will disproportionately benefit wealth business owners, adding to the gap between rich and poor.

From the Central Valley of California to Midwestern battlegrounds and suburban districts of the northeast, the new law already is shaping the 2026 midterm battle for control of the House of Representatives.

It's not tax season, but now that Trump's spending bill is final, it's a great time to plan, experts say. Don't overlook these new benefits.
