As a Republican in the House of Representatives and the Senate, to pass the Law of the Bill of President Donald Trump, we found the Americans in their stampede, wandering in hundreds of pages of the draft law and trying to determine how to change their lives.
This is a little of what they told us:
Master discounts in surprise
Tanga, who requested not to use her last name, receives both the advantages of the medical and additional nutritional assistance program (SNAP), which can be reduced under the single large bill.

To try to pay the price of the bill trillion dollars in the bill, the Republic of Congress cuts or changes financing mechanisms for programs such as Medicaid, the additional nutrition assistance program (SNAP), and the vital dietary assistance initiative.
Tanga, who asked not to use her last name, alike.
While sitting on her wheelchair next to her loyal dog Zoe, ABC News told that she did not follow this bill closely. She lives a salary to the salary and cannot bear the specific foods that its doctors say it needs to be interrupted.
Tanga: Not much remains in my monthly allowance for anything.
O’Brien: It seems that you really live in the salary
Tanga: Yes, even …
O’Brien: worst?
Tanga: worst. Worse than that.
“The way you are going now is, and it is not only me, we are all afraid,” she added.
The Senate version of Megabill programs reduces agricultural programs by about $ 186 billion, and most of them will come out of Snap.
Robin Bastin, a laboratory technician at New York District Hospital, says nearly four out of 10 patients on Medicaid.

Health care providers are also concerned.
Robin Bastin is a laboratory technician in a hospital in New York, where he says that four out of 10 patients are in the Medicaid program and the health insurance program for low -income Americans who have a disability.
The current version of the budget bill imposes new work requirements on the Medicaid recipients and increases the papers required to verify eligibility.
It will also start reducing what is known as the provider’s tax, which helps to finance the state’s obligations towards Medicaid, in 2028
Both can lead to less than millions of millions in the program, and Bastqin warns that it increases parts of the American health care system.
Bastal: In the end, hospitals will have to close their doors.
O’Brien: What will he do to care for patients in general?
Bastal: Patient care? It will definitely delay that. Many patients will not be able to treat.
Republicans say these concerns are exaggerated as they make both Medicaid and collide with more sustainability by targeting waste, fraud and ill -treatment in both programs.
Changes in the draft law in Medicaid are expected to lose 11.8 million Americans from losing their insurance, according to a recent analysis by a non -partisan Congress budget office.
Reducing green power incentives
Micah Gold-Markel, has solar states in Philadelphia, which trains the inner city residents of jobs in the solar energy industry. He says he may have to lay off half of his employees if the gradual disposal of the green energy tax incentives in the Biden era is made.

In addition to discounts in programs such as Medicaid and Snap to help pay the price of the draft law, the legislation clarifies the incentives for the green energy tax in the Biden era, especially for wind and solar energy.
Micah Gold-Markel is very tense.
Small Solar States has been inflated in Philadelphia in the past few years, thanks to the increasing demand due to those tax incentives. Now, he is concerned that he may need to release half of his employees if these credits are back down.
He says that many of his employees voted for Trump in Pennsylvania to win. Now their functions can be at stake due to its bill.
Marcil Gold: The most difficult part of being a business owner is to stop people. Hand down, my hands …
O’Brien: Are you worried that you will have to do this more?
Marcil Gold: (Tears) I am really worried about it, yes.
The golden Markel was driving his car back and forth from his warehouse to Capitol Hill, where he was pressing against lowering green energy incentives. Although the Senate has reduced the rapid gradual disposal of some tax credits, he and others in his manufacture did not succeed to a large extent.
“I think some [lawmakers] I think jobs are not real. I do not know, unlike coming in front of them and telling them that I was born in West Feli. This is my job. He said, “I do not know what to say to them, and some of them are still looking at you in the face, and they do not believe you.”
Tax and Trump accounts
Matt Kalinte, a former firefighter and president of the New Jersey Professional Fire Association, said that taxes on additional work could lead to “thousands of dollars” for firefighters.
ABC News
In Englo, New Jersey, we met from the firefighters watching Congress between 911 calls. But they are excited.
The Trump bill includes a major promise to the campaign: there are no federal income taxes on advice and additional work. While some service workers celebrated the portion of the advice, the firefighters we met focused on OT. They are doing a lot of it.
“He may be thousands of dollars that a firefighter can get. More than recover when they are taxes,” said Matt Kalentity, a former firefighter and president of the New Jersey Firefighters Association. He supported the National Union’s arm to provide additional work for the draft law.
Jay O’Brien ABC News speaks with Ed Zbrowski, Cape May, New Jersey, a firefighter who said he cancels tax on additional work “lights the burden for your family.”
ABC News
“It is certain that it reduces your family’s burden. He pays things like caring for children, others, and some leave.”
Another section causes some excitement-the so-called “Trump accounts”-investment accounts for newborns-will open with one time deposit from the federal government of $ 1,000.
Dara Khusushhi, CEO of Uber talks to ABC News.

“[These] “The initiatives will go to the main street and America and help ordinary people to succeed,” said the CEO of Uber Dara Khosrowshahi recently at an event at the White House.
The bill also includes a tax reduction of approximately $ 4 trillion, to a large extent by making the Trump tax law always before its expiration. Since the law is currently in books, most Americans will not significantly see a change in their annual tax files because of this bill, but they will not pay more.
Prevent the list of artificial intelligence
Marti Jacley, South Dakota Prosecutor talks to ABC News.
ABC News
Another ruling buried in the draft law – which was a surprise to some Republicans in the House of Representatives who say they did not read it before voting on it – is a ban on any local state or regulations regarding artificial intelligence for 10 years.
This step will prevent the laws on books in more than 20 states, including those that cover artificial intelligence fraud, wrong information in the elections, and explicit Dipvik photos for children.
Marti Jacley, the South Dakota Prosecutor, said that the state legislative body worked hard to pass its ban on the wrong information created from artificial intelligence and support for Republican colleagues in Congress to change the path.
He said: “All he does is to prevent countries that already have laws in force from protecting our citizens from pornographic children from artificial intelligence, against manipulation of elections and fraud in consumer.”
