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 allowed to change the spending limits of committees or other budgetary levels for certain legislation. This applies to legislation relating to healthcare coverage, which may include laws that prevent a reduction in Medicaid and Medicare funding. The adjustments would be made by the specific amounts provided in that legislation.
