On this edition of Your Call, we discuss ongoing negotiations over the debt ceiling. On April 25, House Republicans passed a bill that would put more than 10 million people at risk of losing their Medicaid coverage, more than one million at risk of losing SNAP benefits, and roughly one million children at risk of losing income assistance, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. The bill would also cost states, tribal nations, and local communities $1.3 trillion in funding for vital services like schools, transit, and aid to families in crisis. The White House has privately proposed closing tax loopholes as part of a broader deal, but Republicans are refusing to support a bill unless President Biden agrees to spending cuts, according to the HuffPost. The government could default on its debts as early as June 1 if Congress does not reach a deal.
