This week, the Alliance released a new fact sheet detailing how the Republican budget, recently passed in the House of Representatives, will be harmful for seniors.
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (H.R. 1) will slash $490 billion from Medicare and $715 billion from Medicaid over the next decade. It will also gut food assistance for seniors, remove minimum staffing requirements for nursing homes, and lock in high drug prices.
Despite assurances from Speaker Mike Johnson that there will be “no surprises” regarding the bill’s passage, it is already receiving significant pushback from Republicans in the Senate.
“This bill takes food assistance and health care away from millions of vulnerable Americans, all so Republicans can give the wealthiest Americans more tax cuts,” said Robert Roach, Jr., President
of the Alliance. “It’s incredibly cruel, and we must let the Senate know that this legislation cannot become law.”
