  SA 731. Ms. MURKOWSKI submitted an amendment intended to be proposed 
by her to the concurrent resolution S. Con. Res. 11, setting forth the 
congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 
2016 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal 
years 2017 through 2025; which was ordered to lie on the table; as 
follows:

       At the appropriate place, insert the following:

     SEC. ___. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND TO INCREASE ACCESS TO 
                   HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS FOR MEDICARE 
                   BENEFICIARIES.

       The Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate 
     may revise the allocations of a committee or committees, 
     aggregates, and other appropriate levels in this resolution 
     for one or more bills, joint resolutions, amendments, 
     amendments between the Houses, motions, or conference reports 
     that would increase access to health care providers for 
     Medicare beneficiaries without raising revenue, which may 
     include allowing Medicare providers to privately negotiate 
     with Medicare beneficiaries, by the amounts provided in such 
     legislation for those purposes, provided that such 
     legislation would not increase the deficit over either the 
     period of the total of fiscal years 2016 through 2020 or the 
     period of the total of fiscal years 2016 through 2025.
                                 ______
