                   IMPROVE PATIENT HEALTH OUTCOMES AND REDUCE 
                   COSTS.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate finds the following:
       (1) The Affordable Care Act is moving the health care 
     system of the United States from a fee-for-service system 
     that frequently incentivizes the overutilization of health 
     care services and wasteful health care spending to a value- 
     and performance-based health care system that promotes 
     patient-centered and team-based care to keep Americans as 
     healthy as possible, improve health outcomes, and lower 
     health care costs.
       (2) Because of the investments in health care delivery 
     system reforms made by the Affordable Care Act, a third of 
     Medicare payments to health care providers are now based on 
     the overall quality of patient care and health outcomes 
     achieved by such providers.
       (b) 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 
     change the Medicare program, the Medicaid program, or the 
     number of Americans enrolled in private health insurance 
     coverage, in a manner that would result in reduced revenue to 
     hospitals, health care centers, and physicians and other 
     health care providers, thereby reducing their investments in 
     health care delivery system reforms that improve patient 
     health outcomes and reduce costs.
       (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

     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.

     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.''.
