                            amendment no. 83

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. There is now 2 minutes of debate prior to the 
vote on the Menendez amendment No. 83.
  The Senator from New Jersey.
  Mr. MENENDEZ. Madam President, my amendment is to protect the health 
insurance of 11 million low-income men, women, and children who are 
currently benefiting from the Affordable Care Act's Medicaid expansion.
  This amendment establishes a point of order requiring the CBO to 
certify that no legislation increases the overall number of uninsured, 
decreases enrollment in Medicaid in expansion States, or increases 
State spending on Medicaid.
  There are currently 32 States that have expanded Medicaid, half of 
those States with Republican Governors. These Republican Governors--
from Louisiana to Nevada, to Arkansas, Iowa, and even my own State of 
New Jersey, to name a few--understand that not only is Medicaid 
expansion a literal lifesaver to millions of children and families, but 
it has resulted in substantial economic growth and budget savings, a 
reality that directly contradicts the outcries from Republicans who 
seek to destroy Medicaid and strip coverage away from 11 million of the 
most vulnerable among us.
  I urge my colleagues to vote ``yes'' to protect those 11 million 
Americans.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Wyoming.
  Mr. ENZI. Madam President, the Congressional Budget Act requires that 
amendments to a budget resolution be germane. Since this amendment does 
not meet the standard required by budget law, a point of order lies 
against it.
  I am compelled, as chairman of the Committee on the Budget, to raise 
a point of order against the amendment under section 305(b)(2) of the 
Congressional Budget Act of 1974.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Vermont.
  Mr. SANDERS. Madam President, pursuant to section 904 of the 
Congressional Budget Act of 1974, I move to waive all applicable 
sections of that act for purposes of the pending amendment, and I ask 
for the yeas and nays.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there a sufficient second?
  There appears to be a sufficient second.
  The question is on agreeing to the motion to waive.
  The clerk will call the roll.
  The senior assistant legislative clerk called the roll.
  Mr. CORNYN. The following Senator is necessarily absent: The Senator 
from Alabama (Mr. Sessions).
  Mr. DURBIN. I announce that the Senator from California (Mrs. 
Feinstein) is necessarily absent.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Are there any other Senators in the Chamber 
desiring to vote?
  The yeas and nays resulted--yeas 48, nays 50, as follows:

  Three-fifths of the Senators duly chosen and sworn not having voted 
in the affirmative, the motion is rejected.
  The point of order is sustained and the amendment falls.
  The Senator from Tennessee.


                           Amendment No. 174

  Mr. ALEXANDER. Madam President, this amendment is an amendment I 
believe almost every Senator will want to vote for because this is an 
amendment that guarantees that when you walk into the local drugstore, 
your medicine is safe because you know that it has been approved by the 
Food and Drug Administration.
  This amendment clarifies the current law, which says that if you sell 
a prescription drug in the United States, it has to be approved by the 
Food and Drug Administration. It may be made overseas--and many are, 
and they are sold here--but they are approved by the Food and Drug 
Administration.
  I have the privilege of being the chairman of the HELP Committee, and 
I can't tell you the number of impassioned speeches I have heard from 
my Democratic friends about the importance of drug safety and the gold 
standard for the Food and Drug Administration. So if you are for the 
gold standard of the Food and Drug Administration, if you are for 
making prescription drugs approved by the FDA, vote yes. If you are 
against it, vote no.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Does the Senator wish to call up his 
amendment?
  Mr. ALEXANDER. Madam President, I call up my amendment No. 174 and 
ask unanimous consent that it be reported by number.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, the clerk will report the 
amendment by number.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       The Senator from Tennessee [Mr. Alexander] proposes an 
     amendment numbered 174.

  The amendment is as follows:

 (Purpose: To strengthen Social Security and Medicare without raiding 
  them to pay for new government programs, like Obamacare, that have 
failed Americans by increasing premiums and reducing affordable health 
   care options, to reform Medicaid without prioritizing able-bodied 
 adults over the disabled, and to ensure that any importation does not 
increase risk to public health according to the Secretary of Health and 
                            Human Services)

       At the end of title III, add the following:

     SEC. 3___. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND RELATING TO 
                   PERMITTING IMPORTATION OF PRESCRIPTION DRUGS 
                   ONLY UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES.

       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

[[Page S261]]

     the Houses, motions, or conference reports relating to 
     permitting the importation of prescription drugs, which may 
     include certifying public health and safety, strengthening 
     Social Security and Medicare, and improving Medicaid, 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 2017 
     through 2021 or the period of the total of fiscal years 2017 
     through 2026.

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Vermont.
  Mr. SANDERS. Madam President, people in the United States pay by far 
the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs.
  I live 50 miles away from Canada, and in many cases they pay 50 
percent less for the same exact medicine that we buy in Vermont or in 
America, and we all know the reason why. The power and wealth of the 
pharmaceutical industry and their 1300 lobbyists and unlimited sums of 
money have bought the U.S. Congress. Let's be clear about it.
  Today Mr. Trump--a guy I don't quote very often--said that pharma 
gets away with murder. That is what Trump said. He is right. Year after 
year, the same old, same old takes place. We get amendments like 
Senator Alexander's, and the pharmaceutical industry makes more and 
more money, and the American people pay higher and higher prices.
  The time has come for us to stand up to the drug companies. Let's do 
it tonight. Let's defeat the Alexander amendment. Let's support the 
Klobuchar-Sanders amendment.
  Madam President, I raise a point of order that the pending amendment 
is not germane to the underlying resolution and therefore violates 
section 305(b)(2) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Tennessee.
  Mr. ALEXANDER. Madam President, pursuant to section 904 of the 
Congressional Budget Act of 1974 and the waiver provisions of 
applicable budget resolutions, I move to waive all applicable sections 
of that act and applicable budget resolutions for the purposes of the 
pending Alexander amendment No. 174, and I ask for the yeas and nays.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there a sufficient second?
  There appears to be a sufficient second.
  The question is on agreeing to the motion to waive.
  The clerk will call the roll.
  The legislative clerk called the roll.
  Mr. CORNYN. The following Senator is necessarily absent: the Senator 
from Alabama (Mr. Sessions).

Feinstein) is necessarily absent.

  The Senator from Minnesota.


                           Amendment No. 178

  Ms. KLOBUCHAR. Mr. President, I call up amendment No. 178 and ask 
unanimous consent that it be reported by number.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, the clerk will report the 
amendment by number.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       The Senator from Minnesota [Ms. Klobuchar] proposes an 
     amendment numbered 178.

  The amendment is as follows:

   (Purpose: To establish a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to 
lowering prescription drug prices for Americans by importing drugs from 
                                Canada)

       At the end of title III, add the following:

     SEC. 3___. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND RELATING TO LOWERING 
                   PRESCRIPTION DRUG PRICES FOR AMERICANS BY 
                   IMPORTING DRUGS FROM CANADA

       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 
     relating to lowering prescription drug prices, including 
     through the importation of safe and affordable prescription 
     drugs from Canada by American pharmacists, wholesalers, and 
     individuals with a valid prescription from a provider 
     licensed to practice in the United States, 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 2017 through 
     2021 or the period of the total of fiscal years 2017 through 
     2026.

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Minnesota.
  Ms. KLOBUCHAR. Mr. President, I come to the floor to ask that my 
colleagues support this very important amendment with Senator Sanders. 
I will match his passion with numbers.
  The price of insulin, as our colleagues know, has tripled in the last 
decade. The antibiotic doxycycline went from $20 a bottle to nearly 
$2,000 a bottle in 6 months. Naloxone, the drug used to help with 
overdose, went from $690 to $4,500 to date. We cannot sit here and do 
nothing. We have an opportunity, for those who believe in the free 
market, to allow in competition--competition from the safe country of 
Canada, our neighbors to the north. In Minnesota, we can see Canada 
from our porch, and we want to see that competition come in and save 
our constituents' lives.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Vermont.
  Mr. SANDERS. Mr. President, last year the five major drug companies 
made $50 billion in profit, while one out of five Americans cannot 
afford the medicine they need. Please don't tell me that we can import 
fish from all over the world, but we can't bring medicine in from 
Canada.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The time for the Senator from Vermont has 
expired.
  The Senator from Wyoming.
  Mr. ENZI. Mr. President, this discussion will be a little different 
than any we have had because in a bipartisan way we have been defeating 
this for at least 14 years. Byron Dorgan used to head it up on that 
side, and I used to oppose it from this side, but it has always been 
bipartisan, and that is because we are not sure about the safety of the 
prescription drugs that come in online.
  People who drive over the border and go to a pharmacist are probably 
getting good drugs there, but we are told that for up to 85 percent of 
what comes in online, we can't tell what country it came from. So we 
can specify Canada, but it may be from another country altogether, 
particularly the Middle East. If we want to assure we have the safety 
of our drugs, being able to get it online from even Canada doesn't have 
the kind of assurance we need. We have always asked that the Secretary 
of Health and Human Services specify that the safety is in place. No 
one has been willing to do that.
  I ask that we vote against this amendment.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The question is on agreeing to the amendment.
  Mr. SANDERS. I ask for the yeas and nays.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there a sufficient second?
  There appears to be a sufficient second.

  The amendment (No. 178) was rejected.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Oregon.


                           Amendment No. 188

  Mr. WYDEN. Mr. President, I call up amendment No. 188 and ask 
unanimous consent that it be reported by number.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, the clerk will report the 
amendment by number.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       The Senator from Oregon [Mr. Wyden] proposes an amendment 
     numbered 188.

  The amendment is as follows:

(Purpose: To create a point of order against legislation that does not 
                           lower drug prices)

       At the end of title IV, add the following:

     SEC. 4__. POINT OF ORDER AGAINST LEGISLATION THAT DOES NOT 
                   LOWER DRUG PRICES.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate finds the following:
       (1) Total annual drug spending in the United States is 
     projected to reach more than $500,000,000,000 by 2018.
       (2) One out of five Americans age 19 to 64 cannot afford to 
     fill their prescriptions.
       (3) Spending on prescription drugs in the United States 
     grew by 12 percent in 2014, faster than in any year since 
     2002.
       (4) Medicare part D drug spending was $90,000,000,000 in 
     2015, and is expected to increase to $216,000,000,000 by 
     2025.
       (5) Medicare part B drug spending also more than doubled 
     between 2005 and 2015, increasing from $9,000,000,000 in 2005 
     to $22,000,000,000 in 2015.
       (6) In 2014, prescription drug spending in Medicaid 
     increased by 24 percent.
       (7) During the Presidential campaign, the President-elect 
     said, ``When it comes time to negotiate the cost of drugs, 
     we're going to negotiate like crazy, folks'' and his campaign 
     website said that, ``allowing consumers access to imported, 
     safe and dependable drugs from overseas will bring more 
     options to consumers.''.
       (8) After being elected, the President-elect said, ``I'm 
     going to bring down drug prices. I don't like what's happened 
     with drug prices.''.
       (9) On January 11, 2017, the President-elect said, ``We 
     have to create new bidding procedures for the drug industry, 
     because they are getting away with murder.''.
       (b) Point of Order.--It shall not be in order in the Senate 
     to consider a bill or joint resolution reported pursuant to 
     section 2001 or 2002, or an amendment to, motion on, 
     conference report on, or amendment between the Houses in 
     relation to such a bill or joint resolution that does not, as 
     promised by the President-elect, lower drug prices, as 
     certified by the Congressional Budget Office.
       (c) Waiver and Appeal.--Subsection (b) 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 (b).

  Mr. WYDEN. Mr. President and colleagues, this amendment is supported 
by a number of Senators because, as the Senate majority plows ahead 
with a scheme that I call repeal and run, it is putting tens of 
millions of Americans in danger of losing their health insurance, and 
Americans are waiting for Congress to step up and adopt smart policies 
that will drive down the cost of prescription medicine.
  We understand this is an era of miracle cures and treatments. There 
are drugs on the market today that were science fiction not very long 
ago. With drug prices rising, the question is whether Americans are 
going to be able to afford them. This is a growing source of 
inequality, and it cannot go unchecked.
  Here is my bottom line.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator's time has expired.
  Mr. WYDEN. In a country as rich and strong as ours, cures have to be 
available for everyone, not just the wealthy.
  I urge support for this amendment.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Wyoming.
  Mr. ENZI. Mr. President, the Congressional Budget Act does require 
that the amendments to the budget resolution be germane. Since this 
amendment does not meet the standard required by budget law, a point of 
order would lie. So I raise a point of order against this amendment 
under section 305(b)(2) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Oregon.
  Mr. WYDEN. Mr. President, pursuant to section 904 of the 
Congressional Budget Act of 1974, I move to waive section 305(b)(2) of 
that act for purposes of the pending amendment, and I ask for the yeas

  Mr. ENZI. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate vote 
in relation to the following amendments in the order listed, with all 
other provisions of the previous order remaining in effect; further 
that there be no second-degree amendments in order to the amendments 
listed: Fischer 184, Gillibrand 82, Hatch 180, Brown 86; I further ask 
that the pending amendments, aside from these listed, be withdrawn; 
that no further amendments be in order, and that following disposition 
of the Brown amendment, the Senate vote on adoption of the resolution, 
as amended, if amended.

  Mr. ENZI. Sure.

                           Amendment No. 184

  Mrs. FISCHER. Mr. President, I call up my amendment No. 184.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report.
  The bill clerk read as follows:

       The Senator from Nebraska [Mrs. Fischer] proposes an 
     amendment numbered 184.

  The amendment is as follows:

   (Purpose: To establish a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to 
   strengthening Social Security or health care for women, which may 
   include strengthening community health centers, and repealing and 
                          replacing Obamacare)

       At the appropriate place, add the following:

     SEC. ___. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND RELATING TO SOCIAL 
                   SECURITY OR WOMEN'S HEALTH.

       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, relating to strengthening Social Security or health 
     care for women, which may include strengthening community 
     health centers, and repealing and replacing the Patient 
     Protection and Affordable Care Act, 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 2017 through 2021 or the 
     period of the total of fiscal years 2017 through 2026.

  Mrs. FISCHER. Mr. President, this amendment would strengthen 
community health centers across this country. In Nebraska we have 7 
federally qualified health centers and 40 clinic sites that have served 
over 75,000 people. These centers provide quality personalized health 
care that women need and deserve.
  Last year I had the opportunity to visit one of these in Omaha, the 
Charles Drew Medical Clinic. I saw firsthand the comprehensive, 
compassionate care that they provide to Nebraskans. Many times, women 
are the ones who make health care decisions for their families, but 
with higher costs and fewer choices, ObamaCare has hurt, not helped, 
women in this country.
  They have seen their premiums go up, they have had a hard time 
finding the doctors that they trust, and they have had to sign up for 
plans that they don't like. With this amendment, we can alleviate this 
frustration. We can help ensure that they receive quality care in their 
communities surrounded by a support system. It would strengthen women's 
health. It would help take care of our families, our neighbors, and our 
friends.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from New York.
  Mrs. GILLIBRAND. Mr. President, I rise to oppose the amendment of the 
Senator from Nebraska. While we all support community health centers, 
and they are very useful in the State of New York as well, this is just 
another attempt to end the protections the Affordable Care Act provides 
for women.
  Nothing in this amendment will say that you cannot charge women more 
for health care just because they are women. Nothing in this amendment 
will say that you cannot charge women for health care or drop their 
coverage when they become pregnant. Nothing in this amendment provides 
for any restrictions on discrimination.
  It does not provide the mammograms, the preventive care services, the 
contraception care, and other affordable cancer screenings that women 
need. This amendment does not protect women's health care. They will 
still be discriminated against, charged more, and drop coverage as soon 
as they become pregnant. It is not acceptable.
  I raise a point of order that the pending amendment is not germane to 
the underlying resolution and therefore violates section 305(b)(2) of 
the Congressional Budget Act of 1974.
  Mrs. FISCHER. Mr. President, pursuant to section 904 of the 
Congressional Budget Act of 1974 and the waiver provisions of 
applicable budget resolutions, I move to waive all applicable sections 
of that act and applicable budget resolutions for purposes of my 
amendment, and I ask for the yeas and nays.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there a sufficient second?
  There appears to be a sufficient second.
  The yeas and nays were ordered.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Wyoming.
  Mr. ENZI. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent to reinstate my 
previous unanimous consent which would be: Fischer 184, then Gillibrand 
82, Hatch 180, Brown 86; further, that the pending amendments, aside 
from these listed, be withdrawn, that no further amendments be in 
order, and that following disposition of the Brown amendment, the 
Senate vote on adoption of the resolution, as amended, if amended.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. ENZI. I ask unanimous consent that the list of amendments be 
called up and reported by number.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.


                           Amendment No. 180

  The clerk will report the amendment by number.
  The senior assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       The Senator from Wyoming [Mr. Enzi], for Mr. Hatch, 
     proposes an amendment numbered 180.

  The amendment is as follows:

   (Purpose: To establish a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to 
 strengthening Social Security and repealing and replacing Obamacare, 
  which has increased health care costs, raised taxes on middle-class 
 families, reduced access to high quality care, created disincentives 
 for work, and caused tens of thousands of Americans to lose coverage 
   they had and liked, and replacing it with reforms that strengthen 
     Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program without 
prioritizing able-bodied adults over the disabled or children and lead 
to patient-centered, step-by-step health reforms that provide access to 
quality, affordable private health care coverage for all Americans and 
   their families by increasing competition, State flexibility, and 
individual choice, and safeguarding consumer protections that Americans 
                                support)

       At the end of title III, add the following:

     SEC. 3___. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND RELATING TO 
                   STRENGTHENING SOCIAL SECURITY AND REPEALING AND 
                   REPLACING OBAMACARE.

       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 
     relating to strengthening Social Security and repealing and 
     replacing Obamacare, which may include reforms that 
     strengthen Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance 
     Program without prioritizing able-bodied adults over the 
     disabled or children and lead to step-by-step reforms 
     providing access to quality, affordable coverage for all 
     Americans, and safeguarding consumer protections, without 
     raising new revenue, 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 2017 through 2021 or the 
     period of the total of fiscal years 2017 through 2026.

                       Vote on Amendment No. 184

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The question is on agreeing to the motion to 
waive.

                            Amendment No. 82

  Mrs. GILLIBRAND. Mr. President, I rise to speak in favor of amendment 
No. 82. This amendment protects women's health care.
  Under the Affordable Care Act, we made many changes that made a huge 
difference in the lives of everyday American families. It said to women 
in America: You can't be charged more just because you are a woman. It 
said: You can't be dropped from coverage when you become pregnant.
  Imagine becoming pregnant and having your insurer drop your coverage 
because you no longer are economic or you cost too much money. Imagine 
being a cancer survivor and then having your coverage dropped because 
you survived cancer and you cost too much money.
  In the Affordable Care Act, we made sure contraception, preventive 
care service, health care screenings, and mammograms were affordable 
and accessible. If we take that away, these families are left without 
the basic care they need to survive.
  So if you love women and you love your mothers and daughters and 
wives, please do not unwind the Affordable Care Act. We need women's 
health protected, and that is what this amendment does.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Wyoming.
  Mr. ENZI. Mr. President, the Congressional Budget Act requires that 
amendments to a budget resolution be germane. Since this amendment does 
not meet the standard required by budget law, a point of order would 
lie.
  So I raise a point of order against this amendment under section 
305(b)(2) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974.
  Mrs. GILLIBRAND. Mr. President, pursuant to section 904 of the 
Congressional Budget Act of 1974, I move to waive section 305(b)(2) of 
that act for the purposes of the pending amendment, and I ask for the 
yeas and nays.

  The Senator from Utah.


                           Amendment No. 180

  Mr. HATCH. Mr. President, as I stated, ObamaCare came along when 
States were already facing difficult fiscal choices, and, sadly, made 
things worse. ObamaCare's Medicaid expansion exacerbated the pressure 
on States without even addressing the numerous quality issues in the 
program. Republicans are still committed to working with interested 
parties, including our State governments, to reform Medicaid and ensure 
its long-term sustainability. That is the purpose of my amendment here 
tonight.
  My amendment would create a deficit-neutral reserve fund to allow for 
reforms to Medicaid as well as the Children's Health Insurance Program 
and to ensure the programs have the right priorities.
  I urge my colleagues to vote for my amendment and against the Brown 
amendment, which is simply designed to prevent the repeal of ObamaCare 
and enshrine its flawed approach to Medicaid in a budget point of 
order.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Ohio.
  Mr. BROWN. Mr. President, I rise in opposition to the Hatch 
amendment.
  Because of the Affordable Care Act, more than 2 million children have 
health insurance today that did not have it prior to the Affordable 
Care Act.
  In my State, Governor Kasich, a Republican, who is a friend of mine 
and of many of us in this Chamber, has said that he has admonished his 
Republican colleagues to not repeal the Affordable Care Act without an 
immediate replacement. Governor Kasich expanded Medicaid. As a result, 
700,000 Ohioans were provided insurance because he expanded Medicaid. 
He asked the question: What happens to these 700,000 people in my 
State--just in Medicaid expansion alone--what happens to them if the 
Hatch amendment passes or if the Affordable Care Act is repealed?
  I ask my colleagues to vote no on the amendment.
  Mr. President, I raise a point of order that the pending amendment is 
not germane to the underlying resolution. It violates section 305(b)(2) 
of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Utah.
  Mr. HATCH. Mr. President, I move to waive the applicable provisions 
of the Budget Act for purposes of the pending amendment, and I ask for

                            Amendment No. 86

  Mr. BROWN. Mr. President, I call for amendment No. 86.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The amendment is pending.
  Mr. BROWN. Mr. President, thanks to Medicaid and the Children's 
Health Insurance Program, CHIP--two programs made stronger by the 
Affordable Care Act--95 percent of children in America now have 
affordable, comprehensive health insurance that covers annual 
physicals, dental care, and hospital stays. Why would we want to move 
backward instead of building on that 95 percent?
  Amendment No. 86 creates a budget point of order against any 
legislation that would decrease coverage, reduce benefits, or raise 
costs when it comes to children's health insurance. Rather than ripping 
away coverage from children, we should be building on that 95 percent 
number; we should build on that progress; we should work to get 100 
percent of our Nation's children covered.
  I urge my colleagues to support this amendment.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Wyoming.
  Mr. ENZI. Mr. President, the Congressional Budget Act requires that 
amendments to a budget resolution be germane. Since this amendment does 
not meet the standard required by budget law, I raise a point of order 
against this amendment under section 305(b)(2) of the Congressional 
Budget Act of 1974.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Ohio.
  Mr. BROWN. Mr. President, pursuant to section 904 of the 
Congressional Budget Act of 1974, I move to waive section 305(b)(2) of 
that act for purposes of the pending amendment, and I ask for the yeas 
and nays.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there a sufficient second?
  There appears to be a sufficient second.
  The question is on agreeing to the motion to waive.
  The clerk will call the roll.
  The senior assistant legislative clerk called the roll.
  Mr. CORNYN. The following Senator is necessarily absent: the Senator 
from Alabama (Mr. Sessions).
  Mr. DURBIN. I announce that the Senator from California (Mrs. 
Feinstein) is necessarily absent.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Are there any other Senators in the Chamber

                             NOT VOTING--2

     Feinstein
     Sessions
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. On this vote, the yeas are 49, the nays are 
49.
  Three-fifths of the Senators duly chosen and sworn not having voted 
in the affirmative, the motion is rejected.
  The point of order is sustained and the amendment falls.
  The Senator from Wyoming.
  Mr. ENZI. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent there be 2 minutes 
of debate, equally divided in the usual form, prior to the vote on 
adoption of S. Con. Res. 3.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. ENZI. Mr. President, the repeal resolution we have been debating 
in the Senate this week will complete the first step toward reducing 
the Federal Government's role that has prevented Americans from 
pursuing affordable and accessible health care that meets their needs 
without emptying their wallets. After we complete our repeal work, the 
Senate can then vigorously pursue putting the Nation on a more 
responsible and sustainable fiscal path and address government's out-
of-control spending and mammoth national debt when we begin our work on 
the fiscal year 2018 budget.
  This resolution will set the stage for true legislative relief from 
ObamaCare that Americans have long demanded while ensuring a stable 
transition in which those with insurance will not lose access to health 
care coverage. This will allow us to move step-by-step on a new set of 
reforms, listening carefully to the advice of millions of Americans 
affected or as Senator Alexander of Tennessee--the chairman of the 
Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee--put it, the ObamaCare 
bridge is collapsing, and we are sending in a rescue team. We will then 
build new bridges to better health care, and finally, when these new 
bridges are finished, we will close the old bridge.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Vermont.
  Mr. SANDERS. Mr. President, the adoption of this budget resolution 
will allow Republicans to come back to the floor of the Senate with a 
budget reconciliation package which will repeal the ACA with a simple 
majority. If they do that, up to 30 million Americans will lose their 
health care, with many thousands dying as a result. Because if you have 
no health insurance and you can't go to a doctor or a hospital, you 
die.
  Medicare will be converted into a voucher program. Medicaid will be 
decimated. Rural hospitals will be closed, and they have no alternative 
proposition. They want to kill ACA, but they have no idea about how 
they are going to bring forth a substitute proposal. This is not what 
the American people want. This is irresponsible. This is dangerous. 
This should be defeated.
  Mr. McCONNELL. I ask for the yeas and nays.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there a sufficient second?
  There appears to be a sufficient second.
  The question is on adoption of S. Con. Res. 3.
  The clerk will call the roll.
