CBO Confirms Trump Budget Law Will Trigger Over $500 Billion in Automatic Medicare Cuts
"#Republicans knew their tax breaks for billionaires would force over half a trillion dollars in Medicare cuts—and they did it anyway," said Rep. Brendan Boyle.

Aug 15, 2025The only way to avoid these cuts, said the CBO, would be for #Congress to pass "subsequent legislation that would offset the deficit increase, waive the recordation of the bill's effects on the scorecard, or otherwise mitigate or eliminate the statutory requirements."
The #CBO said that these cuts could take as much as $45 billion out of #Medicare for fiscal year 2026. What's more, the amount cut from Medicare would increase in every subsequent year, resulting in total cuts of as much as $536 billion between 2026 and 2034.

Medicaid Cuts? Yes. But the #GOP Is Quietly Cutting Medicare, Too
A little understood aspect of the big, ugly bill could cause devastating problems for seniors and others.

July 16, 2025PAYGO is not a term that crosses many lips in daily discourse. But it may soon be used more widely, as its impact resonates in the aftermath of the passage of the so-called One Big Beautiful Act. While the enormous and damaging cuts in #Medicaid have dominated discussion since the bill was enacted—cuts that will take millions of Americans off of #HealthInsurance, force the closure of many rural hospitals and nursing homes, and likely put enormous increased pressure on emergency rooms across the country—another shoe is soon to drop. And that is major cuts in its sister program, #Medicare.
