fense of the ideals of democracy and freedom; 
Whereas Vietnamese Americans have continuously advocated

a month for their 2022 premiums; 
Whereas, during the 117th Congress, funds meant for Medi-
care were reallocated to pay for partisan policies outside 
of the Medicare program in the Inflation Reduction Act; 
Whereas Democrats cut over $289,000,000 out of Medicare 
to 
give 
insurance 
companies 
handouts 
to 
boost 
Obamacare and finance Democrats’ pet green energy 
projects instead of strengthening Medicare for future

Whereas President Biden has accused House Republicans of 
threatening to cut Medicare: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That— 
(1) the House of Representatives affirms cur-
rent retirees and those nearing retirement expect 
certain Medicare commitments to be made, as Medi-
care has been one of the vital pillars for senior citi-
zens to access health care; and 
(2) it is the sense of the House of Representa-
tives that its commitment to the United States is to 
save and strengthen Medicare and no longer use 
Medicare as a slush fund to finance Democrats’ par-
tisan policy agenda.
