SA 4795. Mrs. SHAHEEN (for herself, Ms. Baldwin, Ms. Alsobrooks, and
Mr. Warnock) submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by her to
the concurrent resolution S. Con. Res. 33, setting forth the
congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year
2026 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal
years 2027 through 2035; which was ordered to lie on the table; as
follows:
At the end of title III, add the following:
SEC. 3___. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND RELATING TO RESTORING
HEALTH CARE ACCESS AND AFFORDABILITY FOR
BENEFICIARIES OF ENHANCED ADVANCED PREMIUM TAX
CREDITS.
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
securing health care access and affordability for Americans,
which may include restoring enhanced advanced premium tax
credits, whose loss has created catastrophic insurance
premium hikes for 24,000,000 Americans and the loss of
insurance coverage for an additional 4,000,000 Americans, or
ensuring that any changes would not result in lower coverage
rates, reduced benefits, or decreased affordability for
beneficiaries receiving coverage through private insurance
markets, 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 2026 through 2035.
