SEC. 4__. POINT OF ORDER AGAINST CHANGES TO THE ACA.
(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 make
changes to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act
without obtaining a budget score by the Congressional Budget
Office (based on annual projections, a 10-year projection,
and a 30-year projection) that includes the estimated effect
of the legislation on the number of uninsured individuals
(broken down by economic subgroup and State), the effect of
such legislation on average premiums (broken down by
marketplace and employer sponsored insurance), and the effect
of such legislation on uncompensated care costs (broken down
by State, projected for both providers and State government
spending).
(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).
