him to the concurrent resolution S. Con. Res. 33, setting forth the
congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year

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 EXPANDING
AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE COVERAGE.
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
expanding affordable health care coverage, including by
reinstating the Affordable Care Act-enhanced premium tax
credits and removing the new red tape barriers President
Trump has enacted to prevent Americans from enrolling in
Medicaid and Affordable Care Act coverage, 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.
