What this amendment would do

Mrs. Shaheen submitted amendment SA 1927, which is a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to federal funding for rural hospitals and health care providers. The main purpose is to give the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget the power to change financial levels and allocations for legislation dealing with rural health care.

Here is what the amendment aims to do or change regarding the bill:

  • Allow changes for legislation that preserves access to health care in rural communities.
  • Ensure that funding, including Medicare and Medicaid, is not reduced for rural health providers, hospitals, physicians, long-term care providers, or other health care providers in rural areas.
  • Ensure that Federal staffing is sufficient to process reimbursement for procedures and other administrative requirements.
  • Require that any such legislation does not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
