What this amendment would do

SA 5184, submitted by Mr. Kaine, aims to add a section titled "DON'T MAKE AMERICA SICK AGAIN" to title IV of S. Con. Res. 33.

The purpose of this amendment is to create a point of order in the Senate to prevent the consideration of any bill, joint resolution, motion, amendment, or conference report that the Congressional Budget Office determines would:

  • Reduce the number of Americans enrolled in private or public health insurance coverage.
  • Increase total out-of-pocket health care costs or health insurance premiums for Americans with private health insurance.
  • Reduce the scale and scope of benefits covered by private health insurance compared to the requirements under title I of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

The amendment also specifies that this point of order can only be waived, suspended, or appealed by an affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Senate Members.
