A resolution urging the protection of Medicare from the devastating cuts caused by H.R. 1.
Sponsored By: Senator Whitehouse, Sheldon [D-RI]
Introduced
Summary
Protect Medicare from cuts tied to H.R.1. This resolution would urge Congress to safeguard Medicare benefits, services, and providers from the across-the-board sequestration the text links to H.R.1. It highlights risks to the more than 67 million people who relied on Medicare in 2024 and warns that community health centers, hospitals, and providers could face financial strain that affects seniors and people with disabilities. *CBO estimates H.R.1 would increase deficits by about $4.1 trillion from 2025 to 2034 and trigger roughly $45 billion in Medicare cuts in 2026 and about $536 billion through 2034, increasing pressure on the federal budget.*
