How The Megabill Will Change America

After months of debate, weeks of tense negotiations and 24 hours of Republican arm-twisting, President Trump has muscled his giant domestic-policy bill through both chambers of Congress.

It’s a major legislative victory for the president that paves the way for much of his second-term agenda, and it will have profound impacts across the country.

The Times journalists Tony Romm, Andrew Duehren and Margot Sanger-Katz discuss what the legislation changes, and those whose lives it will change the most.

Guest:

Tony Romm, a reporter covering economic policy and the Trump administration for The New York Times, based in Washington.
Andrew Duehren, who writes about tax policy for The New York Times from Washington.
Margot Sanger-Katz, a reporter for The New York Times who covers health care policy and government spending.

Background reading:

Trump’s policy bill cleared Congress after House Republicans quelled revolt from some of their members.
Our reporters answered nine questions about the bill, including who benefits and who gets hurt.
See how the bill could affect your taxes, health care and other finances.
