This resolution calls upon the Senate to protect the Medicare program from substantial financial reductions. These cuts are anticipated to arise from automatic sequestration under the Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010 (S-PAYGO), which is triggered by a projected $4.1 trillion increase in the national deficit due to H.R. 1, also known as the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act." The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that Medicare, which is not exempt from S-PAYGO, could face cuts totaling $536 billion through 2034 , including $45 billion in 2026 alone. Such significant reductions are asserted to jeopardize the financial stability of healthcare providers, including community health centers and hospitals, and undermine the healthcare coverage for over 67 million Americans who rely on Medicare. The resolution specifically urges the Senate to safeguard seniors' Medicare benefits and essential social services. It emphasizes the importance of protecting seniors from these reckless, across-the-board cuts to their earned healthcare benefits.
