<h1>Senate Passes $3.8 Trillion Tax Package Despite GOP Healthcare Concerns and CBO Insurance Loss Warnings</h1> The Republican-controlled Senate advanced a tax and spending package by a narrow 51-49 vote, with Vice President breaking potential ties. The legislation extends tax breaks worth $3.8 trillion, adds new exemptions including tips, and allocates $350 billion for national security and deportation efforts. However, proposed cuts to Medicaid, food stamps, and green energy programs caused internal GOP dissent. Two Republican senators opposed the measure, citing concerns over healthcare access. The Congressional Budget Office estimates 11.8 million more people would lose health insurance by 2034. The package faces further debate and amendments before potential House consideration ahead of the administration's July 4th deadline.
