The claim: Juan Ciscomani claims the One Big Beautiful Bill Act has stopped the largest tax hike in U.S. history and delivered tax relief for working families. 

FACT CHECK: FALSE

THE FACTS:

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act has advanced the largest cuts to Medicaid in U.S. history, decimated rural health care in places like Southern Arizona, and left vulnerable families hungry — all to give trillions of dollars in tax breaks to billionaires and Republican donors.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act’s devastation in Arizona:

• Nearly 500,000 Arizonans — including about 200,000 children — have been kicked off of SNAP.
• 246,000 Arizonans are at risk of losing their health care.
• Hospitals in and around AZ-06 are projected to lose $110 million every single year. Ciscomani’s “Rural Health Fund” is not enough to cover his cuts.
• More than 1,000 manufacturing jobs have already been lost.
