WASHINGTON, D.C. – Following his vote in favor of H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, Representative Gary Palmer (AL-06) released the following statement:  

“I voted for this bill to prevent families from facing a $4 trillion tax hike,” said Rep. Palmer. “This bill extends President Trump’s 2017 tax cuts that provided economic relief to American families. Without this bill, a family of four could see a $1,695 tax increase, the average taxpayer would see a 22% tax hike, and families would see their child tax credit cut in half. With the provision of no tax on tips or overtime included in this bill, take-home pay for hard working families could increase by over $10,000 per year and working families making between $15,000 and $30,000 would see their taxes cut by 23%.” 

“In regard to Medicaid, the Democrats have been lying to the American people to invoke fear. Those who are legally eligible for Medicaid will not have their coverage affected by this bill. The bill actually protects Medicaid for the truly needy, children, seniors, and individuals with disabilities. There is more that needs to be done to help states fix Medicaid, and I will continue to push sensible reforms,” continued Rep. Palmer.

Rep. Palmer concluded, “The reforms in this bill are just a start. I look forward to the next opportunity to pass fiscally sound legislation that will strengthen our economy, ensure our national security, and help all American families.”
