A bill to prohibit changes to Medicare and Medicaid in reconciliation.

This bill seeks to amend Section 310(g) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, which currently restricts changes to Social Security through the budget reconciliation process. The proposed amendment would expand this prohibition to explicitly include the Medicare program under title XVIII and the Medicaid program under title XIX of the Social Security Act. By doing so, the bill would prevent these crucial healthcare programs from being altered via the expedited reconciliation procedure. This change would necessitate that any significant modifications to Medicare and Medicaid go through the regular legislative process, requiring broader support and potentially overcoming a filibuster in the Senate. The overall intent is to provide greater legislative protection for these programs.
