States findings that a recent budget reconciliation law will add about $4.1 trillion to the federal deficit from 2025–2034 and will trigger sequestration that substantially reduces Medicare funding beginning in 2026 and continuing through 2034. The text warns those cuts could threaten health coverage for millions and strain hospitals, community health centers, and other providers.
Urges the Senate to act to protect Medicare benefits and essential social services from across-the-board sequestration cuts, and to safeguard seniors who paid into Medicare from major reductions in health-care funding. The measure is an expression of concern and a call for congressional action rather than a change to law or funding itself.
Referred to the Committee on Finance. (text: CR S6736)
