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 improving health care by expanding eligibility for health savings accounts, which may include eliminating the requirement that individuals be enrolled in a high-deductible health plan and instead allowing enrollment in any plan with benefits that are actuarially equivalent to not greater than 80 percent of the full actuarial value of the benefits provided under the plan, by the amounts provided in such legislation for those purposes, provided that such legislation would not increase the deficit over either the period of the total of fiscal years 2021 through 2025 or the period of the total of fiscal years 2021 through 2030. ______
