  • new budget authority,
  • budget outlays,
  • deficits,

Includes reconciliation instructions directing the House Energy and Commerce Committee and the House Ways and Means Committee to each submit deficit reduction legislation to the House Budget Committee by January 27, 2017.

(Under the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, reconciliation bills are considered by Congress using expedited legislative procedures that prevent a filibuster and restrict amendments in the Senate.)

(The reserve funds provide the chairmen of the congressional budget committees with flexibility in applying budget enforcement rules to health care legislation that meets specified criteria. Under the reserve funds, the chairmen may revise committee allocations, aggregates and other appropriate levels in this resolution, and the pay-as-you-go [PAYGO] ledger in the Senate.)
