Murphy applauds final passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act
Washington, D.C. — Congressman Greg Murphy, M.D., applauds the passage of H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act:
"After over a year of diligent work crafting a budget reconciliation package that extends the successful 2017 tax cuts, strengthens border security and our military, and cuts waste, fraud, and abuse, I was proud to support the final passage of H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act," said Congressman Greg Murphy, M.D. "As a physician of over 30 years serving rural Eastern North Carolina, and as a member of the House Ways and Means Committee, I vigorously advocated for a package that protects hardworking families, helps our country flourish, and preserves the fiscal viability of the United States. We achieved this and more while delivering on President Trump's and Republicans' vision to put the American people first.
"The Medicaid system, as we now know it, is broken. It desperately needs reform so that it can be a strong program for those who are eligible to receive the benefits. Throughout the bill-making process, I engaged in innumerable dynamic and spirited conversations with the Trump Administration to protect rural patients, doctors, and hospitals. As the only individual in Congress who continues to see patients covered by Medicaid, I have firsthand knowledge of how this program impacts our communities. This bill protects Medicaid benefits for those who are most vulnerable in our society, not able-bodied individuals capable of participating in the workforce, illegal immigrants, and those ineligible for benefits. The $50 billion Rural Health Transformation Program, included in the package, ensures the sustainability of rural health providers with an immediate impact beginning next year. I look forward to working with President Trump and CMS Administrator Oz, as well as healthcare leaders across the beautiful State of North Carolina, on the successful implementation of this law."
