  SA 436. Mrs. SHAHEEN (for herself and Ms. Baldwin) proposed an 
amendment to the concurrent resolution S. Con. Res. 7, setting forth 
the congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal 
year 2025 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal 
years 2026 through 2034; as follows:

       At the end of title III, add the following:

     SEC. 3___. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND RELATING TO 
                   PRESERVING HEALTH CARE ACCESS AND AFFORDABILITY 
                   FOR BENEFICIARIES OF THE PATIENT PROTECTION AND 
                   AFFORDABLE CARE ACT.

       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 
     preserving health care access and affordability for 
     Americans, which may include preserving and extending tax 
     credits made available by amendment made to the Internal 
     Revenue Code of 1986 by the Patient Protection and Affordable 
     Care Act (Public Law 111-148) that will prevent catastrophic 
     insurance premium hikes for 22,000,000 Americans or the loss 
     of insurance coverage for an additional 4,000,000 Americans, 
     or ensuring that any changes to such tax credits would not 
     result in lower coverage rates, reduced benefits, or 
     decreased affordability for individuals receiving coverage 
     through private insurance markets established under 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 the 
     period of the total of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
                                 ______
