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

SRES 404 is a Senate resolution urging protection for Medicare from automatic spending cuts triggered by H.R. 1, a bill estimated to increase the deficit by $4.1 trillion. It cites Congressional Budget Office data projecting $536 billion in Medicare cuts between 2025 and 2034, which would affect 67 million beneficiaries relying on Medicare for healthcare. The resolution opposes sequestration under the Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act, arguing these cuts would harm seniors, people with disabilities, and healthcare providers. It specifically calls on the Senate to safeguard Medicare benefits from these deficit-driven reductions.
