119-SAMDT-2035 — To establish a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to protecting Medicare and Medicaid.
What the Amendment Does Mr. Sullivan, along with Ms. Collins, proposed amendment SA 2035 to create a deficit-neutral reserve fund. Common sense tells us that keeping track of our money and not adding to the national debt is important when looking out for the people. The amendment allows the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to change allocations, aggregates, and other levels in the resolution. It allows adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger for legislation related to protecting the Medicaid program.
