A sweeping US budget bill, dubbed the "Big Beautiful Bill," faces uncertainty after a narrow Senate vote. The Congressional Budget Office estimates the bill could eliminate health coverage for nearly 12 million Americans and add $3.3 trillion to the national debt. Republicans, holding a slim Senate majority, are racing to pass it before a July 4th deadline, despite defections and Democratic opposition highlighting potential cuts to Medicaid and healthcare funding. The bill offers tax cuts, benefiting wealthier individuals the most. The future of the bill remains uncertain.
