SA 3670. Mr. TOOMEY submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by
him to the concurrent resolution S. Con. Res. 14, setting forth the
congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year
2022 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal
years 2023 through 2031; 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
PREVENTING AN EXPANSION OF TAXPAYER-FUNDED
HEALTH INSURANCE TO INDIVIDUALS WHO ALREADY
HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE 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
requiring that, prior to any action to lower the Medicare
eligibility age to 60, the Chief Actuary of the Centers for
Medicare & Medicaid Services verifies the majority increase
in Federal outlays resulting from such an action would go
towards covering the uninsured and not the over 90 percent of
Americans between the ages of 60 and 64 who already have
health insurance coverage 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 2022 through 2026 or the
period of the total of fiscal years 2022 through 2031.
