A resolution urging the protection of Medicare from the devastating cuts caused by H.R. 1.

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.*
