     SEC. ___. POINT OF ORDER AGAINST LEGISLATION THAT WOULD 
                   TERMINATE HEALTH CARE FOR CHILDREN THROUGH CUTS 
                   TO MEDICAID OR THE CHILDREN'S HEALTH INSURANCE 
                   PROGRAM.

       (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 would 
     make changes to the Medicaid program under title XIX of the 
     Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1396 et seq.) or the 
     Children's Health Insurance Program under title XXI of such 
     Act (42 U.S.C. 1397aa et. seq.) unless the Director of 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 or the Children's Health 
     Insurance Program.
       (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).
