Many parts of the OBBB were deemed subject to filibuster, and therefore didn't pass.

If it weren't for Democratic filibuster, all of these parts of the OBBB would have passed.

• Ban the use of Medicaid funds for gender-affirming medical care for transgender minors and adults

• Restrict coverage of abortions in many Obamacare plans

• Tax credit for contributions made to organizations that provide money for children to attend private schools

• Limit on income-driven student loan repayment options.

• Prohibit loan payments made while students are in medical or dental internships or residencies from counting toward forgiveness

• Authority for state and local officials to arrest noncitizens suspected of being unlawfully present in the U.S.

• Limit on preliminary injunctions or temporary restraining orders by requiring litigants to post potentially large bonds.

• Repeal of an E.P.A. regulation limiting vehicle emissions

• Automatic compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act for oil and gas lease sales

• Elimination of the Office of Financial Research funding

• Elimination of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board

• Requirement that electric vehicles used by the Postal Service are sold

And that's only a partial list of what Democrats successfully filibustered.
