So much is at risk that, even assuming some of the most talked-about measures, such as Medicaid cuts, are removed or modified in the Senate, it is likely that passage of This Ugliest of Bills (THUG Bill) would still fundamentally harm millions of people.
Children—citizen and non-citizen—are going to be especially hard hit if this ugliest of bills passes.
