Jillian, I really enjoyed your analysis of the moral and financial implications of the Budget Reconciliation Bill. I really appreciate how you broke down the moral implications that impact the poorest 10% of Americans. Under this bill, the loss of essential funding for Medicaid and SNAP, as you mentioned, will greatly impact people in every aspect of their lives and health. Through a bio-psycho-social lens, when implementing such a bill, the cuts on these necessary programs can negatively impact families’ mental health and contribute to the ongoing cycle of poverty. I agree with your recommendation to allocate funds towards higher education and focus on financial literacy. However, I would like to suggest adding some resources to support individuals’ mental health. As you mentioned, poverty has a profound psychological impact on a person, and by including mental health resources alongside education and financial literacy resources, I believe it will empower and motivate people to continue seeking support and learn ways to improve their futures and lives overall. Thank you for your research.
