SEC. ___. POINT OF ORDER AGAINST LEGISLATION THAT WOULD MAKE
CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES OR CHRONIC
CONDITIONS SICK AGAIN.
(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--
(1) limit, reduce, or eliminate access to care for children
with a preexisting condition (such as a disability or chronic
condition), which is prohibited under section 2704 of the
Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 300gg-3);
(2) place a lifetime or annual cap on health insurance
coverage for a child with a disability or a chronic
condition, which is prohibited under section 2711 of the
Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 300gg-11); or
(3) allow a health plan or a provider to discriminate on
the basis of a child's physical health, mental health, or
disability status to increase the cost of care, provide for
fewer benefits, or in any way decrease access to health care
that is afforded under title I of the Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act (Public Law 111-148) or the amendments
made by such 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).
