years 2018 through 2026; which was ordered to lie on the table; as 
follows:

       At the end of title IV, add the following:

     SEC. 4__. POINT OF ORDER AGAINST LEGISLATION THAT WOULD CAUSE 
                   VETERANS AND THEIR DEPENDENTS TO LOSE HEALTH 
                   CARE COVERAGE.

       (a) Point of Order.--It shall not be in order in the Senate 
     to consider any bill, joint resolution, motion, amendment, 
     amendment between the Houses, or conference report that would 
     repeal any provision in the Patient Protection and Affordable 
     Care Act (Public Law 111-148) prior to the enactment of a law 
     to ensure that no veteran or dependent that gained health 
     care coverage through such Act's Exchanges or Medicaid 
     expansion will lose coverage.
       (b) Waiver and Appeal.--Subsection (a) may be waived or 
     suspended in the Senate only by an affirmative vote of three-
     fifths of the Members, duly chosen and sworn. An affirmative 
     vote of three-fifths of the Members of the Senate, duly 
     chosen and sworn, shall be required to sustain an appeal of 
     the ruling of the Chair on a point of order raised under 
     subsection (a).
