## Summary

**Protect Medicare from sweeping cuts tied to H.R.1.** The resolution would call for safeguarding seniors' Medicare benefits and essential social services from automatic sequestration and across-the-board health-care reductions. It cites Congressional Budget Office estimates that H.R.1 would add about $4.1 trillion to the deficit between 2025 and 2034 and that Medicare cuts could total roughly $536 billion through 2034, potentially stripping coverage from about 15 million people and stressing providers who rely on Medicare payments. *If H.R.1's projections hold, it would increase the federal deficit by about $4.1 trillion and trigger roughly $536 billion in Medicare cuts through 2034.*
