AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would protect Medicare from automatic spending cuts known as sequestration under the Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010. The protection applies to any sequestration order issued on or after the bill becomes law that is caused, fully or partly, by the budget effects of the 2025 reconciliation law (Public Law 119-21), commonly called the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Under the bill, Medicare programs under title XVIII of the Social Security Act would not be reduced by such an order.
