SA 5201, submitted by Ms. Klobuchar, aims to add a section to title III of S. Con. Res. 33. This section creates a deficit-neutral reserve fund focused on sustaining health care providers in rural areas of the United States.

- Expanding workforce recruitment and retention
- Strengthening rural hospitals

This is permitted as long as the legislation does not increase the deficit between fiscal years 2026 and 2035.
