Medicare could see nearly $500 billion in cuts stemming from the budget reconciliation bill over the next decade, per analysis from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO).
Representative Brendan Boyle (D-PA-2) and three Democratic Senators asked the CBO to analyze potential Medicare cuts that could be required following the passage of the bill last month.
The letter from CBO Director Phillip L. Swagel, published Friday, highlights another challenge on the horizon for hospitals and patients.
Here’s what you need to know:
HAP thanks Representative Boyle for his leadership on this issue. HAP is advocating Congress to ensure this Medicare sequestration cut does not take effect and is urging state and federal leaders to prioritize investments and policies that support hospitals and the patients they serve.
The CBO letter is available to review online.
