To establish a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to preserving and extending vital tax credits enacted under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which make heath care accessible and affordable and that have led to the lowest uninsured rate in our Nation's history.

SA 436. Mrs. SHAHEEN (for herself and Ms. Baldwin) proposed an
amendment to the concurrent resolution S. Con. Res. 7, setting forth
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; as follows:

At the end of title III, add the following:

SEC. 3___. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND RELATING TO
PRESERVING HEALTH CARE ACCESS AND AFFORDABILITY
FOR BENEFICIARIES OF THE PATIENT PROTECTION AND
AFFORDABLE CARE ACT.

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
preserving health care access and affordability for
Americans, which may include preserving and extending tax
credits made available by amendment made to the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986 by the Patient Protection and Affordable
Care Act (Public Law 111-148) that will prevent 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 to such tax credits would not
result in lower coverage rates, reduced benefits, or
decreased affordability for individuals receiving coverage
through private insurance markets established under the
Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, 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.
