What this amendment would do
This amendment would add a point of order, which is a rule used to object to a piece of legislation, to the existing measure.
The amendment would prohibit the Senate from considering any bill, joint resolution, motion, amendment, amendment between the Houses, or conference report that reduces Medicare or Medicaid benefits for working-class and middle-income Americans.
The rule against considering such legislation can only be waived or suspended by a vote of three-fifths of the members of the Senate.
An affirmative vote of three-fifths of the members of the Senate would also be required to uphold an appeal of the ruling made by the Chair regarding this point of order.
