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

This Senate resolution (SRES 380) urges the Senate to protect Medicare from automatic spending cuts triggered by H.R. 1, a budget reconciliation bill. It cites Congressional Budget Office estimates that sequestration under H.R. 1 would cut $45 billion from Medicare in 2026 alone and $536 billion total through 2034, jeopardizing coverage for over 67 million Medicare beneficiaries. The resolution specifically requests safeguarding seniors' benefits and essential health services affected by these cuts. As a non-binding resolution, it expresses the Senate's position but does not alter existing law.
