#bjbe,mr4 ,whitehouse submitted the     
following resolution2 which was referred
 to the ,committee on ,finance          
,,resolution  ,urging the protection of 
,medicare from the devastating cuts     
caused by ,h4,r4 #a4  ,whereas the      
,congressional ,budget ,office 7referred
 to in this preamble as ,,cbo7 has      
estimated that the ,act entitled ,an    
,act to provide for reconciliation      
pursuant to title ,,ii of ,h4 ,con4     
,res4 #ad1 approved ,july #d1 #bjbe     
7,public ,law #aai-ba2 #aci ,stat4 #gb7 
7commonly known as the ,one ,big        
,beautiful ,bill ,act and referred to in
 this preamble as ,h4,r4 #a7 will add   
#d1ajj1jjj1jjj1jjj to the deficit       
between #bjbe and #bjcd2 ,whereas such  
an increase to the deficit will         
automatically trigger across-the-board  
spending cuts1 called sequestration1    

under the ,statutory ,pay-,as-,you-,go  
,act of #bjaj 7#db ,u4,s4,c4 #ica et    
seq47 7referred to in this preamble as  
,s-,,paygo72 ,whereas sequestration will
 impose indiscriminate1 across-the-board
 spending cuts to social safety net     
programs that millions of families in   
the ,united ,states rely on2 ,whereas   
the ,medicare program established under 
title ,,xviii of the ,social ,security  
,act 7#db ,u4,s4,c4 #acie et seq471 a   
critical lifeline for the people of the 
,united ,states1 is not exempt from     
sequestration under ,s-,,paygo2 ,whereas
 ,,cbo has estimated that               
#de1jjj1jjj1jjj will be cut from        
,medicare by sequestration in #bjbf     
alone2 ,whereas ,,cbo has estimated that
 a total of #ecf1jjj1jjj1jjj will be cut
 from ,medicare by sequestration through
 #bjcd2 ,whereas these ,medicare        
sequestration cuts compound nearly      
#a1jjj1jjj1jjj1jjj in health care       
reductions under ,h4,r4 #a1 stripping   
coverage from #ae1jjj1jjj people of the 

,untied ,states and further undermining 
the financial stability of health care  
providers2 ,whereas more than           
#fg1jjj1jjj people of the ,united       
,states relied on ,medicare for their   
health care coverage in #bjbd2 ,whereas 
cuts of this magnitude will jeopardize  
the financial stability of community    
health centers1 hospitals1 providers1   
and many others who rely on ,medicare   
payments to serve seniors1 people with  
disabilities1 and those with end-stage  
renal disease2 ,whereas ,republicans'   
partisan bill expanded the national debt
 by #d1ajj1jjj1jjj1jjj1 and the         
,republicans chose not to protect the   
people of the ,united ,states from these
 cuts2 and ,whereas the people of the   
,united ,states have paid into ,medicare
 throughout their working lives with the
 expectation that their earned benefits 
will be protected3 ,now1 therefore1 be  
it ,that-- 7#a7 the ,senate should      
protect the ,medicare program           
established under title ,,xviii of the  

,social ,security ,act 7#db ,u4,s4,c4   
#acie et seq47 from devastating cuts    
caused by the ,act entitled ,an ,act to 
provide for reconciliation pursuant to  
title ,,ii of ,h4 ,con4 ,res4 #ad1      
approved ,july #d1 #bjbe 7,public ,law  
#aai-ba2 #aci ,stat4 #gb7 7commonly     
known as the ,one ,big ,beautiful ,bill 
,act and referred to in this resolution 
as ,h4,r4 #a72  7#b7 the ,senate should 
safeguard seniors' ,medicare benefits   
and essential social services that are  
jeopardized by the cuts triggered by    
,h4,r4 #a2 and  7#c7 seniors who have   
paid into ,medicare throughout their    
working lives should be protected from  
reckless1 across-the-board cuts to their
 health care4
