Congressman Greg Landsman, representing Ohio’s 1st district since 2023, recently shared his concerns regarding a new healthcare bill through a series of tweets. The legislation in question is projected to have significant impacts on the American healthcare system.

On July 3, 2025, Landsman expressed his apprehension that "17 million Americans will lose their healthcare. Hospitals will close. People will die." This tweet underscores the potential immediate consequences for millions of Americans and healthcare facilities nationwide.

In another tweet posted on the same day, he predicted that "Medical debt will explode. When you take $1.3 trillion out of the healthcare system, costs go up." He highlighted that due to this bill, an estimated 5.5 million Americans are expected to incur medical debt.

Additionally, Congressman Landsman warned about the impact on rural hospitals in his tweet stating that "Over 300 rural hospitals could shut down." He cited a specific instance where a Nebraska hospital plans to close because of the bill and anticipates more closures to follow.

Landsman's insights come from his position as a U.S. Congressman serving Ohio's 1st District since replacing Steve Chabot in 2023. Born in Cincinnati in 1976, he graduated from Ohio University with a BA in 1999 and continues to reside in Cincinnati.
