What this amendment would do

Mr. Kaine submitted SA 1784 to the concurrent resolution H. Con. Res. 14 for the fiscal years 2025 through 2034 budget. Common sense tells us that keeping folks we elected accountable means looking at how they handle our healthcare funding, and this amendment sets up a deficit-neutral reserve fund.

  • The amendment aims to allow the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to revise allocations and make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger.

  • It applies to legislation relating to health insurance coverage, specifically protecting Medicaid expansion by reversing cuts to Federal Medicaid funding.

  • These funding cuts would otherwise trigger provisions in the laws of some States that would automatically end coverage of the Medicaid expansion population in those States.

  • The stated purpose requires that any such legislation would not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
