SA 3096. Mr. SASSE submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by
him to the concurrent resolution S. Con. Res. 14, setting forth the
congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year
2022 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal
years 2023 through 2031; 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 IMPROVING
HEALTH CARE.
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,
and make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger, for one or
more bills, joint resolutions, amendments, amendments between
the Houses, motions, or conference reports relating to
improving health care, which may include eliminating the
requirement that individuals be enrolled in a high-deductible
health plan and instead allowing health savings accounts for
individuals enrolled in a plan with benefits that are
actuarially equivalent to not greater than 80 percent of the
full actuarial value of the benefits provided under the plan,
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 2022 through 2026 or the period of the total of fiscal
years 2022 through 2031.
