I want to know what are the fallacies that this quote has!

this is the quote:
“According to the Congressional Budget Office, the long-term burden of these cuts falls disproportionately on the poorest and least healthy members of our society, who will face higher deductibles and a lower chance of coverage”

please least all the fallacies that you see in this quote above!
thank you

Ooops... The quote isn't fallacious be cause they merely repeat what the committee says. Whether the effect is actually what will happen or the cause is actually what the committee says it is might be a questionable cause fallacy if it isn't true and it is just a political opinion being forwarded as a cause and effect.

I agree with skips in that the person who wrote the quote is just repeating information from the Congressional Budget Office. This is either true or false (i.e., the Congressional Budget Office either said that or not). No fallacy.

If you are referring to the statement from the Congressional Budget Office, then again, this is either true or not, it is not a statement or reason.
