What this amendment would do

SA 5369, submitted by Mr. REED, aims to add a section to the end of title III of S. Con. Res. 33.

The purpose of this amendment is to create a deficit-neutral reserve fund to:

  • Restore Medicaid funding.
  • Prevent a reduction in enrollment or benefits for people enrolled in Medicaid, including:
    • Seniors
    • Children
    • Families
    • Individuals with disability
    • Veterans
    • Military families

This would allow the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to adjust budget levels and the pay-as-you-go ledger for legislation related to these goals, as long as the legislation does not increase the deficit between fiscal years 2026 through 2035.
