§ 03
SUMMARY
WHAT THIS CHANGES
This amendment would have created a special placeholder in the national budget to protect and extend tax credits that help people afford health insurance under the Affordable Care Act. Because it failed, the current budget plan does not include this specific instruction to prioritize these health care subsidies.
§ 04
KEY POINTS
3POINT 01
Establishment of a Reserve Fund
Reserve funds allow Congress to pass future legislation on specific topics more easily by pre-adjusting budget limits.
POINT 02
Focus on ACA Tax Credits
The amendment specifically targeted premium tax credits that have been credited with reaching record-low uninsured rates.
POINT 03
Deficit-Neutral Requirement
The amendment required that any extension of these credits would have to be paid for so it wouldn't increase the national debt.
