The House GOP’s “big, beautiful bill” will add so much money to the debt it will force across-the-board spending cuts to Medicare, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO). CBO late Tuesday said the legislation will increase the debt by $2.

The Congressional Budget Office correctly stated Trump's tax bill would force cuts to Medicare. Budget analysts are tempering concerns, as the relevant provision is expected to be waived as in prior years.

Some $500 billion in cuts to Medicare could be avoided if Congress instructs the White House budget office to disregard the reconciliation package’s debt impact.
