The Tribune editorials by Senators Moran and Marshall concerning the passage of the Big Beautiful Bill were inexcusable for their lack of honesty in failing to admit or address the human tragedy that will result because of the bill. Amazingly, both senators failed to mention the Bill will result in an estimated 42,500 to 51,000 additional American deaths per year. According to the Yale School of Public Health and the Institute of Health Statistics at the University of Pennsylvania, the “Big Beautiful Bill” our GOP Kansas congressional delegation voted for will produce the following breakdown in deaths: 20,000 from working people losing health coverage from Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act,18,000 low-income elderly from loss of prescription subsidies, and 13,000 due to loss of nursing home safe staffing standards. In fact, the deaths taken together would rank as the 10th leading cause of death in America, behind kidney disease and ahead of COVID deaths.
