The Senate Budget Committee passed a budget resolution on a 12-11 vote that will help open the fast-track reconciliation process for tax reform legislation if the resolution passes the Senate. The full Senate is expected to take up the resolution in two weeks and then reconcile it with the House version, which passed 219-206.
We are continuing to track the resolution and will share more as we receive updates.

The House passed budget resolution 553 yesterday, October 4th with a 232-188 vote. This resolution proposes budget cuts to vital health programs by almost $2 trillion (approximately $1.5 trillion cuts to Medicaid and $487 billion cuts to Medicare).
This budget resolution harms California and we have been monitoring this resolution and the proposed Senate resolution.
CHC has been actively signing on to letters and calling representatives to urge them to vote against a proposal that does not look out for the best interests of constituents. We will share more information as we get updates.
In the meantime, to see how your representative voted, check out www.govtrack.us/congress/votes/115-2017/h552 and contact them to express your gratitude or disappointment!
