Oregon Members of Congress Seek Changes in President’s Bill
July 2, 2025
Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici argued for changes in the President’s Bill:
“Stop the harm that will come from these devastating cuts to Medicaid and SNAP. I met with hospital leaders, the hospital association, the leaders of the community health clinics. The word that they agreed was applicable is catastrophic. 97% of Oregonians have insurance, and that is because we have been very innovative and forward with Medicaid expansion and one in three Oregonians, including many children get their healthcare through Medicaid.”
Congresswoman Bonamici proposed a long list of amendments, many aimed at saving families money.
“This bill attacks higher education, making it even more expensive for students and their families. Monthly student loan payments will increase dramatically. So my amendment provides a necessary protection for existing student loan borrowers.”
