To establish a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to extending vital enhanced advance premium tax credits.

SA 1602. Mrs. SHAHEEN (for herself and Ms. Murkowski) submitted an
amendment intended to be proposed by her to the concurrent resolution
H. Con. Res. 14, establishing the congressional budget for the United
States Government for fiscal year 2025 and setting forth the
appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal years 2026 through 2034; which
was ordered to lie on the table; as follows:

At the appropriate place, insert the following:

SEC. ___. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND RELATING TO EXTENDING
HEALTH CARE ACCESS AND AFFORDABILITY FOR
BENEFICIARIES OF ENHANCED ADVANCE 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 extending enhanced advance premium tax
credits that will avoid catastrophic insurance premium hikes
for 22,000,000 Americans or 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 2025 through
2034.
