SEC. 4__. POINT OF ORDER AGAINST LEGISLATION THAT WOULD MAKE
PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES AND 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 anyone
with a pre-existing condition, such as a disability or
chronic condition, as provided under section 2704 of the
Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 300gg-3), as amended by
the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Public Law
111-148);
(2) place a lifetime or annual cap on health insurance
coverage for an individual with a disability or a chronic
condition, as provided under section 2711 of the Public
Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 300gg-11), as amended by the
Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act; or
(3) allow a health plan or a provider to discriminate on
the basis of an applicant'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 as afforded under title I of the Patient Protection and
Affordable Care 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).
