House Appropriations Committee Refutes Misinformation on Social Security Cuts
In a post yesterday on appropriations.house.gov, the House Appropriations Committee countered partisan allegations of Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security cuts in the legislation passed by the House Tuesday to avert a partial government shutdown and fund federal agencies through September. Specifically, the Committee’s post highlighted the claim that the measure “targets” these three critical support areas, reporting that “There are no cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, or Social Security in this bill. Rather, the CR protects these programs by ensuring their administration continues smoothly and is not impacted by the disruption and chaos a government shutdown would cause.”
