TOPEKA – Kansas U.S. Senators Roger Marshall and Jerry Moran today voted in favor of President Trump’s “One Big Beautiful [BAD] Bill”, which cuts Medicaid by billions, eliminates essential food programs thousands of Kansas children rely on, and threatens the economic stability of our country. 

“At a time when hard-working Kansans are struggling to make ends meet, Senators Moran and Marshall turned their backs on Kansas families and made life even more challenging for so many people,” Ashley All, President of the Kansas Coalition for Common Sense, said. “Kansans deserve leaders who show courage and work to make life more affordable for our families. Not politicians who blindly follow political party bosses.”

Despite having over 70% bipartisan support from Americans for these programs, Kansas Senators Roger Marshall and Jerry Moran voted to: 

• Rip health care away from 13,000 Kansans. 

• Let thousands of Kansas children go hungry. 

• Eliminate $4 billion in Medicaid funding in Kansas, putting rural hospitals at extreme risk of closing. 

• Recklessly add $3.3 trillion to the federal deficit, which the New York Times reports is the most expensive bill in a generation, reducing the revenue the country collects for decades, which could “begin a seismic shift in the nation’s fiscal trajectory and raise the risk of a debt crisis.”

“Not only did Senators Moran and Marshall vote to rip health care away from more than 13,000 Kansans and let thousands of Kansas children go hungry, they also voted to add more than $3.3 trillion to the national debt,” All said. “What happened to fiscal responsibility?”

The budget bill now goes to the House for final negotiations before sending it to the President’s desk.
