What this amendment would do

As an analyst keeping an eye out for the people, let's break down what this amendment is all about in plain English. Amendment SA 1470 was submitted by Ms. Alsobrooks and Mr. Kim.

Its purpose is to set up a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to preventing the repeal of drug pricing provisions in statute. Simply put, it allows the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget to make adjustments to financial levels and rules for legislation that deals with reducing health care prices. This can include preventing the repeal of drug pricing reforms or preventing increased costs for American families, as long as the legislation does not increase the deficit from fiscal year 2025 through 2034.
