CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

Senate Roll Call 644

119th Congress · Session 1 · December 11, 2025

A vote to end debate and allow a final vote

In the Senate, debate can continue indefinitely unless 60 senators vote to end it. This vote is that attempt. It decides whether the Senate may vote on the thing at all — not whether the thing passes. A failed cloture vote usually ends the matter without anyone ever voting on its merits.

What was being voted on

119-S-3385 — Lower Health Care Costs Act

This bill aims to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. It seeks to extend the enhancement of the health care premium tax credit. Specifically, it extends the rules used to increase premium assistance amounts. It also extends the rule that allows the credit to be given to taxpayers with household incomes exceeding 400 percent of the poverty line. These extensions would move the end dates from 2025 to 2028 and change the deadline from January 1, 2026, to January 1, 2029.
