Washington, D.C. — Senate Finance Committee Ranking Member Ron Wyden, D-
Ore., today issued the following statement after the Congressional Budget
Office (CBO) delivered a preliminary analysis of the new Senate text of
the Republican reconciliation bill showing the legislation will cut
Medicaid by $930 billion, even deeper Medicaid cuts than passed by the
House. That does not include additional cuts to other parts of the U.S.
health care system, namely Medicare and the Affordable Care Act, included
in the legislation.

“While Republican senators are securing baubles and trinkets for their
political donors, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office has
confirmed that the Senate bill will cut $930 billion from Medicaid,” Wyden
said. “Just as before, these cruel cuts to Americans’ health care will
strike a mortal blow to rural health care, and threaten the health and
safety of kids, seniors, Americans with disabilities, and working families
across the country. Life and death decisions of this magnitude should not
be subjected to this rushed and reckless process. I urge Republican
senators not to travel down this dangerous path: there is no band-aid that
can heal these dangerous, deadly cuts.”

Note, the CBO is 70+% Democrat staffed.  No agenda there.
