Groundwork Poll Finds 55% Say Republican Tax Law Made Healthcare Harder After 1 Year

1 articles · Updated · groundworkcollaborative.org · Jul 1

Summary

  • 55% of voters say Trump and congressional Republicans made healthcare harder to afford in the past year, according to new Groundwork Collaborative polling released on the tax law’s first anniversary.
  • 50% say the law helps wealthy Americans and big corporations more than people like them, reinforcing Groundwork’s argument that the package shifted benefits upward while worsening household costs.
  • Groundwork says the law cut health coverage and food assistance for millions, pushed utility bills higher, and contributed to closures of hundreds of nursing homes and clinics.
  • The findings frame the Republican tax law as a politically unpopular signature Trump measure, with cost-of-living pressure still central to how working families judge its impact one year later.
