   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.
