Mike Rogers and the One Big Beautiful Bill Act: His Endorsement and a $4 Billion Cost to Michigan

Mike Rogers endorsed a law that Michigan's budget office says caused an immediate $1 billion hole in the state budget and is still expected to cost Michigan upwards of $4 billion in general fund money through fiscal 2032. On July 3, 2025, the day the One Big Beautiful Bill Act passed, Rogers posted "Historic tax cuts for hard-working families! It's a great day to be an American!". That endorsement covers every provision of the law, including the Medicaid, SNAP and Medicare changes now reaching Michigan families.

Rogers kept promoting the law after it passed. He told the Daily Caller News Foundation in July 2025 that its tax provisions were "direct things that impact working families," and in January 2026 he claimed it made a "historic, $50 billion investment in rural healthcare", a claim the Michigan Hospital Association disputes. Before it passed, he called talk of Medicaid cuts "misinformation".

In Michigan, the state health department estimates roughly 200,000 people will lose health care or SNAP benefits once the law's eligibility changes are fully in effect, and the Congressional Budget Office projects 10 million more uninsured Americans nationwide.

Mike Rogers's Statements on the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, in the Order the Bill Moved

• Rogers Called Medicaid Cut Warnings "Misinformation" as the Bill Moved Through Congress. Mike Rogers said in a FOX 2 Detroit interview: "There is so much misinformation. They're saying they're cutting Medicaid because they're trying to scare people who are on Medicaid. That's not what's happening." The enacted law contains an estimated $911 billion in federal Medicaid spending cuts over the next 10 years, according to KFF.
• Rogers Celebrated the Bill's Final Passage on July 3, 2025. Rogers posted "Historic tax cuts for hard-working families! It's a great day to be an American!" on July 3, 2025. The law he celebrated reduces federal health spending by over $1 trillion, by the Congressional Budget Office's estimate.
• Rogers Promoted the Law's Tax Provisions in July 2025. Rogers told the Daily Caller News Foundation, "Our waitresses and waiters all across the state just got a huge lift by not having to pay taxes on their tips", adding, "These are direct things that impact working families."
• Rogers Claimed in January 2026 the Law Was a "Historic" Investment in Rural Health Care. Rogers told the Michigan Advance the law made a "historic, $50 billion investment in rural healthcare, including $173 million for Michigan alone." The paper reported that this claim is disputed by health care professionals, including the Michigan Hospital Association, and University of North Carolina researchers found the law puts three Michigan hospitals at risk of closure or service reductions.

What the One Big Beautiful Bill Act Mike Rogers Endorsed Costs Michigan, by Topic

• About 200,000 Michiganders are expected to lose health care or food aid. Michigan's Department of Health and Human Services estimated that roughly 200,000 Michiganders will lose their health care and/or SNAP benefits once Medicaid work requirements, twice-yearly redeterminations and other eligibility changes take full effect; the Medicaid work requirements begin January 1, 2027.
• Michigan's marketplace enrollment fell 27 percent in 2026. Combined with the expired enhanced tax credits, the law's marketplace changes cut Michigan's 2026 marketplace enrollment by 27 percent, 130,789 fewer enrollees than in 2025, the seventh steepest drop in the nation, according to the state.
• Three Michigan hospitals are at risk of closing or cutting services. Researchers identified McLaren Central Michigan in Mount Pleasant, University of Michigan Health-Sparrow Carson City Hospital and Ascension Borgess-Lee Hospital in Dowagiac as at risk under the law, and the state budget office says provider tax changes starting in fiscal 2028 will have serious consequences for hospitals throughout the state.
• Michigan must pay more than $300 million a year toward SNAP benefits. Starting October 1, 2027, Michigan would be responsible for more than $300 million per year in SNAP benefit costs at its current error rate, on top of $94.3 million a year in added SNAP administrative costs from October 1, 2026.
• Medicare will save less on drugs and drop some legally present immigrants. KFF reports the law exempts more orphan drugs from Medicare price negotiation, which is projected to diminish Medicare's savings, and terminates Medicare coverage for some lawfully present beneficiaries who still must pay Medicare payroll taxes.
• Social Security's retirement fund runs short a year sooner. The law's tax changes accelerate the insolvency of the Social Security retirement fund and Medicare Hospital Insurance fund to 2032, a year sooner than projected, while the new senior deduction provides no benefit to most low- and middle-income seniors, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.
