Senate resolution urges protection of Medicare from sequestration cuts triggered by H.R. 1 (the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act"), which CBO estimates will add $4.1 trillion to the deficit between 2025 and 2034

CBO projects Medicare cuts of $45 billion in 2026 alone and $536 billion total through 2034 due to automatic sequestration under the Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010

Resolution notes these Medicare cuts compound nearly $1 trillion in health care reductions under H.R. 1, which would strip coverage from 15 million people

More than 67 million people relied on Medicare for health coverage in 2024; cuts would jeopardize financial stability of hospitals, community health centers, and providers serving seniors and people with disabilities

Calls on Senate to safeguard seniors' Medicare benefits and protect those who paid into Medicare throughout their working lives from across-the-board health care cuts
