       At the end of title IV, add the following:

     SEC. 4__. POINT OF ORDER AGAINST LEGISLATION THAT RAISES 
                   TAXES OR HEALTH COSTS FOR THE MIDDLE CLASS AND 
                   WORKING FAMILIES TO FUND TAX CUTS FOR 
                   MILLIONAIRES.

       (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 
     increases taxes, raises health insurance premiums, or leads 
     to higher out-of-pocket health care costs for the middle 
     class and working families while reducing tax burdens for 
     households with incomes of $1,000,000 or more.
       (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).
