Trump and his minions will tell those who have lost their health insurance and whose rural hospitals have closed that it is fake news and it is Bidens fault. Right. In the same sentence he will say it didn't happen but if it did it was not his fault it was Biden's. And they will believe it and once again vote as they have since Reagan against their own interests.
Have you read the bill and noticed how many of these cuts were backdated? Don’t let the thought of “we have three years to worry about this” lull you into thinking that we have a reprieve; we don’t! We must continue to exercise our right to free speech (as long as we do) and voice our disapproval of what the Republicans have done. We have to speak truth to power not in 2028, but now.
I was also wondering about this so I turned to my trusty AI for an answer and this is what it said in a nutshell. If you have an AI app you might want to check what it says. This one is from Copilot.
Some of it can be undone—but not all, and not easily.
If a new majority takes office in 2027, they can repeal or rewrite parts of the Big Beautiful Bill. That includes subsidies, tax structures, or definitions that were passed into law. But anything that’s already been triggered—like 10-year tax credits for projects that “started” before June 2026—would be harder to reverse without running into legal challenges from investors or industry groups.
Also, Treasury regulations can play a role. A new administration in 2029 could tighten how those benefits are interpreted and applied, potentially slowing the flow of funding even without passing new laws.
So: yes, a future Congress and administration could chip away at it—but untangling the whole thing will take time, coordination, and political will.
I was curious about this as well so I turned to my trusty Copilot AI app. If you have such an app you may want to try your question out there and see what it says. But here’s the response I got.

What do you mean they are backdated? I know the major portion of the cuts aren’t scheduled to go into effect until about Jan 2027 after people have already voted in the 2026 midterms.
Saying backdated implies something other than that.
🏛️ What You Need to Know About Retroactive Medicaid Cuts in the Big Beautiful Bill
The BBB quietly includes provisions that apply retroactively to January 1, 2025—months before the bill’s passage. These include:
- Medicaid eligibility changes: Work requirements and asset tests now apply retroactively, threatening coverage for individuals who qualified earlier this year.
- Funding penalties for states: States may be financially penalized for failing to comply with rules they didn’t yet know existed when they set their budgets.
- Verification deadlines moved up: A Senate amendment advanced mandatory income and identity checks from 2028 to January 1, 2027, further compressing preparation time.
Why it matters: This kind of backdating is rare and controversial. It risks:
- Due process violations for patients,
- Legal and budget chaos for states,
- And represents what policy analysts have called a “legislative sleight of hand”—shifting burdens onto the most vulnerable while smoothing deficit projections.
Thank you 🙏🏻 so much. I stay very involved & read tons of great journalism on Substack & othe publications but I’d not yet heard those sneaky, really terrible items
You use the best adjective “sneaky’. That’s what this regime is all about. I’d like to use it to apply to the Republican Party as well. Even if they claim ignorance that doesn’t absolve them from sneaking these horrible things into the bill. They didn’t want us to know about the changes hidden in all those pages of the Big Betrayal Bill. They once again threw sand in our eyes. Is this the way we want to be governed?
MAGATS are so out of touch with reality that they may never notice and when they do they will blame democrats. MAGATS are running away with the game so far. The cuts don't kick in till 28. They don't want to notice so they won't.
Its unfortunate that children will suffer because their mom and dad are stupid ignorant trump supporters . I hope the kids grow up appreciating those left wing socialist woke libs , instead of the moronic cult followers .
My fear is that the timing of 2028 will allow the Reps to put their disinformation spin on this and present it as a Dems cut in time for the 2028 federal election. The MAGA eat what they are spoon-fed and will not have discriminating recall of the OBBB
The Republikkkans are total snakes. They made sure the cuts won't take effect until after the midterms, but we must keep this front and center for the next 3 years. Non-stop talking about what this BS, POS bill is and what it will do to the entire country. It's Welfare for Billionaires. It's Waste, Fraud, and Abuse on steroids. We must hold the media accountable every day.
Mango Mussolini is eliminating ALL criminals, right? How is he going to explain why crime is on the rise? Cos we all know desperation fuels crime. They are so fuckin dumb.
I think it’s fabulous. I’m sad for the non-Trump voters. I’m actually angry for them. But for the Trump voters and their families who, face at their children with all of grow up to be devil spawn anyway, I’m quite good with it. In fact, I will watch their suffering with joy. Karma is a bitch.
Why the fuck does Christianity matter? Most of the idiots who pushed for this or voted red in November call themselves Christians. What about just being a decent, fucking human being? That seems to be beyond the capabilities of the vast majority of Americans. I’m so ashamed. And if most Americans could see and experience what I am as an expat, they would be shocked and devastated.
In my defense, satire and sarcasm are much harder to recognize these days given the fact that we appear to be living in a world where The Onion is now real!
They take effect too far in the future to be helpful in exterminating MAGAts.
Hmmm. Maybe. But one rural hospital has already closed. These hospitals must budget and plan for the future.
I’d expect many more to close next year.
In addition, Planned parenthood here in Cleveland has announced its closing.
That, too, is going to hurt the MAGAs on Medicaid.
Kookookachou !!
Their ignorance and blind faith in a snake oil salesman will cost them dearly
They’ve developed a taste for snake oil over the last 10 years. They’re unlikely to become enlightened anytime soon.

Both! What is said now will not be remembered in 2028
Can any of this travesty be undone by a Senate/House majority taking office in 2027?

I liked it better back in the old days when the stupid racist rednecks didn’t bother to vote at all.
Good times
“Magat Extinction Event”…I like the sound of that.
Its unfortunate that children will suffer because their mom and dad are stupid ignorant trump supporters . I hope the kids grow up appreciating those left wing socialist woke libs , instead of the moronic cult followers .
The kids won’t. They will think like their parents, I fear.

The lesson in all this is: be careful what you vote for, for you will surely get it. I fear that the lesson will not be learned.
They revel in their ignorance and cruelty
Mango Mussolini is eliminating ALL criminals, right? How is he going to explain why crime is on the rise? Cos we all know desperation fuels crime. They are so fuckin dumb.
The cuts are timed to take effect in 2028 so that the MAGAS won't notice them in time to realize that the Republicans don't care a whit about them.
Brainless lemmings
The cuts will have no effect on the 2026 congressional elections since they do do not take effect until 2027.
Unfortunately this is just wishful thinking.
True.
That's what happens when the person you elected as president, hates our country.
I think it’s fabulous. I’m sad for the non-Trump voters. I’m actually angry for them. But for the Trump voters and their families who, face at their children with all of grow up to be devil spawn anyway, I’m quite good with it. In fact, I will watch their suffering with joy. Karma is a bitch.
Kate , thats unchristian and just plain awfull !!😅
Why the fuck does Christianity matter? Most of the idiots who pushed for this or voted red in November call themselves Christians. What about just being a decent, fucking human being? That seems to be beyond the capabilities of the vast majority of Americans. I’m so ashamed. And if most Americans could see and experience what I am as an expat, they would be shocked and devastated.
I’m not a Christian!
Me neither. I’m a free thinker with a moral center, who trusts facts and science.
Woke and proud
I'm not sure i understand your answer . My comment is sarcastic as shown by the face . I was agreeing with your comment .
In my defense, satire and sarcasm are much harder to recognize these days given the fact that we appear to be living in a world where The Onion is now real!
FAFO. Just way too late.
