Protecting Medicare from Budget Cuts Triggered by H.R. 1
The U.S. Senate is considering a resolution urging the protection of the Medicare program from significant financial cuts. These cuts, stemming from H.R. 1, could jeopardize healthcare for over 67 million Americans, including seniors and people with disabilities, and destabilize medical facilities. Citizens who have paid into Medicare throughout their lives may lose access to the benefits they expected.
Key points
H.R. 1 could trigger automatic cuts to Medicare, estimated at $536 billion by 2034.
These cuts could strip coverage from 15 million people and undermine the financial stability of hospitals and other healthcare providers.
The resolution urges the Senate to safeguard Medicare benefits for seniors and people with disabilities who rely on the program.
