Schumer Slams GOP Bill: ‘Well, We’re All going to Die Act’
Updated June 05, 2025
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has given a new moniker to the Republican’s “big, beautiful bill,” sarcastically calling it the “Well, We’re All Going to Die Act.” The move highlights Democratic opposition to the proposed legislation and its potential impact on healthcare.
Schumer, alongside Sens. Maggie Hassan, D-N.H., and Ron Wyden, D-Ore., unveiled the new name at a press conference, standing beside a sign bearing the phrase. The label is a direct jab at comments made by Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, regarding the bill’s spending reforms.
Schumer argued that the bill disproportionately benefits the ultra-wealthy through tax breaks, while concurrently undermining healthcare access for millions of Americans. He specifically pointed to potential cuts affecting up to 16 million peopel.
Ernst had previously defended the “big, beautiful bill,” including provisions that would restrict federal benefits for individuals who have entered the country illegally. Her defense came during a town hall in Butler,Iowa,where she responded to audience concerns about potential cuts to Medicaid and SNAP with the remark,”Well,we’re all going to die.”
The senator later addressed the controversy on social media,stating that her comment was meant to acknowledge the inevitability of mortality.
“The more you look at the bill, at the House bill, the worse it gets,” Schumer said.
What’s next
The debate surrounding the bill is expected to continue, with Democrats likely to focus on its potential impact on healthcare and social safety nets as negotiations proceed.
