What this amendment would do

As folks looking out for the hard-working people we represent, let's break down what Senator Rosen is trying to do here in plain English. This amendment, labeled SA 856, sets up a deficit-neutral reserve fund.

Purpose and Changes

  • The main goal is to allow changes to the budget so Congress can pass legislation extending the temporary expansion of the premium tax credits.

  • These tax credits help make health insurance more affordable through the health Exchanges created under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

  • The big common-sense catch here is that any new legislation doing this would not increase the deficit over the total periods of fiscal years 2025 through 2029 or fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
