Ohio Democratic lawmakers say the Republican “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” has made everyday life more expensive for Ohioans, saying that people are losing their jobs, healthcare, and food security.

More than 100,000 Ohioans — including more than 50,000 children — have lost their Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits since President Donald Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” made the largest cuts to food stamps in the history of the program.
