Washington, D.C. — Please join the Center for American Progress for a virtual conversation on the far-reaching consequences of congressional Republicans’ budget reconciliation bill on older adults, people living with disabilities, and other Medicare enrollees.
Congressional Republicans’ proposed legislation would raise health care costs for millions of Americans by enacting the largest cut to Medicaid in the program’s history. Notably, the bill would also make it more difficult for 1.3 million Medicare beneficiaries to access programs that help them afford essential services, including prescription drugs.
This timely conversation will feature policy experts, health advocates, and storytellers discussing what’s at stake and how to fight back against these harmful provisions.
