At the appropriate place in title IV, add the following:

SEC. ___. POINT OF ORDER AGAINST LEGISLATION THAT WOULD TAKE
AWAY HEALTH CARE FROM SENIORS, INCLUDING THOSE
RECEIVING CARE IN NURSING HOMES, THROUGH CUTS
TO THE MEDICAID PROGRAM.

(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
make changes to the Medicaid program under title XIX of the
Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1396 et seq.) unless the
Director of the Congressional Budget Office certifies that
such changes would not result in lower coverage rates,
reduced benefits, or decreased affordability for seniors,
including seniors who are residents of nursing facilities or
who receive services in their own homes.
(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).
