What this amendment would do

Mr. Wyden submitted SA 2187, which aims to set up a deficit-neutral reserve fund.

Here is what the amendment does:

  • Allows the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget to make changes to financial allocations and levels in the budget resolution.
  • Focuses on legislation that provides coverage under Medicare Part D and Medicaid for anti-obesity medications based on their FDA-approved labels.
  • Requires that any legislation doing this does not increase the deficit across the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
