SA 117. Mr. SANDERS submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by
him to the concurrent resolution S. Con. Res. 3, setting forth the
congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year
2017 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal
years 2018 through 2026; which was ordered to lie on the table; as
follows:
At the end of title III, add the following:
SEC. 3___. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND RELATING TO ENSURING
THAT HEALTH CARE IS A RIGHT FOR ALL AMERICANS.
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 ensuring that health care is a right of all
Americans, not a privilege dependent on where you live, what
job you have, or how much money you make, which shall include
a Medicare for All plan to cover everyone 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.
