John James' Vote Is Still Costing Michigan Families Their Healthcare, Food Assistance, and Economic Security

Jul 02, 2026

As we approach the anniversary of the signing of Trump’s devastating “One Big Beautiful Bill,” Michigan families are still paying the price for John James’ vote that threatens the health and well-being of hundreds of thousands of residents.

John James voted for a bill that:

  • Stripped over 420,000 Michiganders of health insurance, while forcing rural hospital closures causing families to travel farther for care.
  • Slashed Medicare funding by $500 billion, endangering healthcare access for Michigan seniors relying on these benefits.
  • Let ACA subsidies expire, driving premiums up 70% for 350,000 Michiganders and weakening protections for people with pre-existing conditions.
  • Cut SNAP benefits for nearly 575,000 Michigan families, making food less affordable and forcing tough choices on parents and seniors.
  • Eliminated clean energy tax credits, stalling thousands of clean energy job opportunities in the state.

“John James voted to make life harder for hundreds of thousands of Michiganders,” said Tiffiany Vaughn, a spokesperson at American Bridge 21st Century. “His vote threatens healthcare coverage for families, raises costs for people already struggling to make ends meet, puts food assistance on the chopping block, and jeopardizes services seniors rely on every day.

While Michigan families worry about paying for groceries, prescriptions, and doctor visits, John James sided with Donald Trump and Republicans to push an agenda that leaves working people paying the price.”
