What this amendment would do
This amendment would add a deficit-neutral reserve fund to the budget resolution.
The Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate would be permitted to change the spending limits or the pay-as-you-go ledger, which is a record used to track the budgetary impact of new legislation. These changes would apply to one or more bills, joint resolutions, or other legislative actions related to health care. This includes legislation intended to expand support under Medicare or Medicaid for opioid treatment. These adjustments can be made by the amounts provided in the legislation for those purposes. This is permitted provided that the legislation would not increase the deficit, which is the amount by which government spending exceeds revenue, during the period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
