  SA 1099. Mr. BOOKER submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by 
him 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; which was ordered to lie on the table; as 
follows:

       At the appropriate place in title IV, add the following:

     SEC. 4___. POINT OF ORDER AGAINST UNDERMINING ACCESS TO 
                   COMPREHENSIVE, AFFORDABLE HEALTH COVERAGE FOR 
                   AMERICA'S CHILDREN AND MOTHERS.

       (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 makes 
     changes to the Medicaid program under title XIX of the Social 
     Security Act, the Children's Health Insurance Program under 
     title XXI of such Act, or Federal requirements for private 
     health insurance coverage, unless the Director of the 
     Congressional Budget Office determines that such changes 
     would not result in lower coverage rates, reduced benefits, 
     or decreased affordability for children and pregnant women 
     receiving coverage through the Medicaid program, the 
     Children's Health Insurance Program, or the private insurance 
     marketplaces established under the Patient Protection and 
     Affordable Care Act.
       (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).
                                 ______
