What this amendment would do

Mrs. Shaheen submitted amendment SA 441 to hold our officials accountable by setting up a point of order in the Senate against certain legislation. Common sense tells us we need to protect folks who rely on insulin and healthcare providers.

What It Aims to Change or Add

The amendment adds a new section to title IV of the concurrent resolution. It aims to block the Senate from considering any bill, joint resolution, motion, amendment, amendment between the Houses, or conference report if the Congressional Budget Office determines it would do any of the following:

  • Reduce the number of individuals accessing covered insulin products
  • Cause an increase in the rate of uninsured individuals living with diabetes
  • Reduce Federal funding that hospitals, community health centers, and other health providers rely on to treat diabetes

The text also states that this point of order can only be waived, suspended, or sustained on appeal by an affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Senators duly chosen and sworn.
