Debunking Democratic claim that Trump’s bill will 'kill 100,000 people'

Repealing net neutrality regulations would end the internet as we know it. People would die if President Donald Trump’s 2017 tax cuts were passed. From Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) to Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Democrats making alarmist, doomsday claims about Republican policies isn’t exactly a new phenomenon. But a Democratic economist just took this ridiculous rhetoric to a new extreme.

During an interview on ABC News, economist and former Obama administration Treasury Secretary Larry Summers bashed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, in particular, highlighting the reforms to the taxpayer-funded health insurance program Medicaid included in the comprehensive bill. Cue the hysteria.
