follows:

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

     SEC. 4___. POINT OF ORDER AGAINST MEDICAID CUTS TO CHILDREN'S 
                   HOSPITALS, HEALTH COVERAGE.

       (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 (42 U.S.C. et seq.), the Children's Health 
     Insurance Program under title XXI of such Act (42 U.S.C. 
     1397aa et seq.), or Federal requirements for private health 
     insurance coverage unless the Congressional Budget Office 
     certifies that such changes would not result in lower 
     coverage rates, reduced benefits, or decreased affordability 
     for children receiving coverage through the Medicaid Program, 
     the Children's Health Insurance Program, or the private 
     insurance markets established under the Patient Protection 
     and Affordable Care Act for the provision of lifesaving 
     medical services, including for pediatric patients with 
     cancer, complex birth defects, asthma, allergies, diabetes, 
     or epilepsy.
       (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).
