CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

Senate Roll Call 91

119th Congress · Session 2 · April 22, 2026

A vote to set aside an objection that the measure breaks a budget rule

A senator objected that the measure spends or cuts more than the budget allows. Sixty votes set that objection aside; fewer, and the measure is stopped by the objection without a vote on what it would do.

What was being voted on

119-SAMDT-4897 — To create a point of order against reconciliation legislation fails to address the practice of insurance companies stepping between patients and their doctors to delay or deny access to care.

SA 4897, proposed by Mr. Ossoff, aims to add a new section to title IV of S. Con. Res. 33. The purpose of this amendment is to create a point of order in the Senate. This means it would stop the consideration of certain bills, joint resolutions, amendments, or conference reports if they do not hold health insurance companies accountable for improperly delaying or denying medically necessary health care.

The Senate recorded this as
On the Motion (Motion to Waive All Applicable Budgetary Discipline Re: Ossoff Amdt. No. 4897)
To create a point of order against reconciliation legislation fails to address the practice of insurance companies stepping between patients and their doctors to delay or deny access to care.
