  During consideration of this measure today, Senate also took the 
following action:
  By 31 yeas to 67 nays (Vote No. 5), three-fifths of those Senators 
duly chosen and sworn not having voted in the affirmative, Senate 
rejected the motion to waive all applicable sections of the 
Congressional Budget Act of 1974, and applicable budget resolutions, 
with respect to Enzi (for Flake) Amendment No. 52, to strengthen Social 
Security and Medicare, to reform Medicaid without prioritizing able-
bodied adults over the disabled, and to return regulation of insurance 
to State governments. Subsequently, the point of order that the 
amendment was in violation of Section 305(b)(2) of the Congressional 
Budget Act of 1974 was sustained, and thus the amendment fell.

  By 49 yeas to 49 nays (Vote No. 6), three-fifths of those Senators 
duly chosen and sworn not having voted in the affirmative, Senate 
rejected the motion to waive all applicable sections of the 
Congressional Budget Act of 1974 with respect to Sanders Amendment No. 
19, relative to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Subsequently, 
the point of order that the amendment was in violation of Section 
305(b)(2) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 was sustained, and 
thus the amendment fell.                                      
