A bill to exempt Medicare from any sequestration under Statutory PAYGO that is caused by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
S 2749 exempts Medicare programs from automatic budget cuts (sequestration) caused by the budgetary effects of the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" (a separate bill). This means Medicare funding under the Social Security Act would not face reductions triggered by that specific legislation's spending impacts. The bill directly affects Medicare beneficiaries and programs by ensuring their funding remains protected from these automatic cuts. It achieves this through a specific exemption clause in the Statutory PAYGO Act's sequestration rules.
