Cuts to the federal healthcare program are looming as the Republican-backed 2025 budget legislation, known as the One Big Beautiful Bill, takes full effect. “These cuts will be devastating to healthcare access in South Carolina,” said Andrews, a Democrat who faces Republican Sen. Darline Graham in the Nov. 3 election.
