“We are deeply alarmed by the passage of H.R.1 – One Big Beautiful Bill Act. This legislation will cut healthcare and SNAP benefits for hundreds of thousands of Utahns in exchange for tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans.
The loss of these federal funds represents more than just a budgetary challenge; it is a direct blow to the health, stability, and overall quality of life for people across our state. While we are prepared to evaluate changes to our state budget, these federal dollars play an irreplaceable role in safeguarding the well-being of our communities.
The Utah Senate Democrats remain committed to standing with Utahns who will be directly impacted in the face of this fiscally irresponsible legislation, which includes the largest cuts to the federal safety net in recent history.”
