New York lawmakers are warning New Yorkers about what they believe are devastating cuts coming from Washington.

Gov. Kathy Hochul was joined by Ritchie Torres and health leaders this week to discuss President Trump's “Big Beautiful Bill.”

They believe the “Big Beautiful Bill” is a "nightmare" for New Yorkers. Hochul said Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress are pushing a bill that could rip nearly $13 billion out of New York’s healthcare system.

“Republicans in Washington are resolute in their determination to inflict irreparable harm to the very programs that save the lives of millions of New Yorkers,” Governor Hochul said.

Torres warned that Medicaid and SNAP cuts will push countless New Yorkers off the programs they rely on.

Massive Fallout In New York Due To Big Beautiful Bill

According to New York lawmakers, the fallout from the bill could be massive for New Yorkers.

Hochul warns that 1.5 million New Yorkersare  expected to lose health insurance. More than 300,000 households will lose food benefits. Hospitals across the state will face billions in new costs.

Hochul says it’s all to fund tax breaks for billionaires, while working families are left struggling. Hochul adds she’s not backing down, promising to fight these cuts every step of the way.

“They have one goal in mind: to conceal tax breaks for their wealthy billionaires while simultaneously withdrawing health care and food benefits from families that rely on them. The fight to protect New Yorkers and uphold the very values of our nation is unfolding right now, and I am committed to being at the forefront of this fight every single day.”
