3 TITLE VI—POLICY 

4 SEC. 601. POLICY STATEMENT ON MEDICARE. 

5 (a) FINDINGS.—The House finds the following: 

6 (1) More than 50 million Americans depend on 

7 Medicare for their health security. 

8 (2) The Medicare Trustees Report has repeat9 edly recommended that Medicare’s long-term finan10 cial challenges be addressed soon. Each year without 

11 reform, the financial condition of Medicare becomes 

12 more precarious and the threat to those in and near 

13 retirement becomes more pronounced. According to 

14 the Congressional Budget Office— 

15 (A) the Hospital Insurance Trust Fund 

16 will be exhausted in 2022 and unable to pay 

17 scheduled benefits; and 

18 (B) Medicare spending is growing faster 

19 than the economy and Medicare outlays are 

20 currently rising at a rate of 6.3 percent per 

21 year, and under the Congressional Budget Of22 fice’s alternative fiscal scenario, direct spending 

23 on Medicare is projected to reach 7 percent of 

24 GDP by 2035 and 14 percent of GDP by 2085. 


rfrederick on DSK6VPTVN1PROD with BILLS
61 

•HCON 112 RH 

1 (3) Failing to address this problem will leave 

2 millions of American seniors without adequate health 

3 security and younger generations burdened with 

4 enormous debt to pay for spending levels that cannot 

5 be sustained. 

6 (b) POLICY ON MEDICARE REFORM.—It is the policy 

7 of this resolution to protect those in and near retirement 

8 from any disruptions to their Medicare benefits and offer 

9 future beneficiaries the same health care options available 

10 to Members of Congress. 

11 (c) ASSUMPTIONS.—This resolution assumes reform 

12 of the Medicare program such that: 

13 (1) Current Medicare benefits are preserved for 

14 those in and near retirement, without changes. 

15 (2) For future generations, when they reach eli16 gibility, Medicare is reformed to provide a premium 

17 support payment and a selection of guaranteed 

18 health coverage options from which recipients can 

19 choose a plan that best suits their needs. 

20 (3) Medicare will provide additional assistance 

21 for lower-income beneficiaries and those with greater 

22 health risks. 

23 (4) Medicare spending is put on a sustainable 

24 path and the Medicare program becomes solvent 

25 over the long-term.

1 SEC. 602. POLICY STATEMENT ON SOCIAL SECURITY. 

2 (a) FINDINGS.—The House finds the following: 

3 (1) More than 55 million retirees, individuals 

4 with disabilities, and survivors depend on Social Se5 curity. Since enactment, Social Security has served 

6 as a vital leg on the ‘‘three-legged stool’’ of retire7 ment security, which includes employer provided 

8 pensions as well as personal savings. 

9 (2) The Social Security Trustees report has re10 peatedly recommended that Social Security’s long11 term financial challenges be addressed soon. Each 

12 year without reform, the financial condition of Social 

13 Security becomes more precarious and the threat to 

14 seniors and those receiving Social Security disability 

15 benefits becomes more pronounced: 

16 (A) In 2016, according to the Congres17 sional Budget Office, the Federal Disability In18 surance Trust Fund will be exhausted and will 

19 be unable to pay scheduled benefits. 

20 (B) In 2036, according to the Social Secu21 rity Trustees Report the combined Federal Old22 Age and Survivors Insurance Trust Fund and 

23 Federal Disability Insurance Trust Fund will 

24 be exhausted, and will be unable to pay sched25 uled benefits. 


rfrederick on DSK6VPTVN1PROD with BILLS
63 

•HCON 112 RH 

1 (C) With the exhaustion of the trust funds 

2 in 2036, benefits will be cut 23 percent across 

3 the board, devastating those currently in or 

4 near retirement and those who rely on Social 

5 Security the most. 

6 (3) The current recession has exacerbated the 

7 crisis to Social Security. The Congressional Budget 

8 Office continues to project permanent cash deficits. 

9 (4) Lower-income Americans rely on Social Se10 curity for a larger proportion of their retirement in11 come. Therefore, reforms should take into consider12 ation the need to protect lower-income Americans’ 

13 retirement security. 

14 (5) Americans deserve action by their elected 

15 officials on Social Security reform. It is critical that 

16 the Congress and the administration work together 

17 in a bipartisan fashion to address the looming insol18 vency of Social Security. In this spirit, this resolu19 tion creates a bipartisan opportunity to find solu20 tions by requiring policymakers to ensure that Social 

21 Security remains a critical part fo the safety net. 

22 (b) POLICY ON SOCIAL SECURITY.—It is the policy 

23 of this resolution that Congress should work on a bipar24 tisan basis to make Social Security permanently solvent.

2 such that— 

3 (1)(A) if in any year the Board of Trustees of

5 Fund and the Federal Disability Insurance Trust 

6 Fund in its annual Trustees’ Report determines that 

7 the 75-year actuarial balance of the Social Security 

8 Trust Funds is in deficit, and the annual balance of

5 legislation, the committees of jurisdiction to which 

6 the legislation has been referred should report such 

7 legislation, which should be considered by the full 

8 House or Senate under expedited procedures; and 

9 (4) legislation submitted by the President 

10 should— 

11 (A) protect those in and near retirement; 

12 (B) preserve the safety net for those who 

13 rely on Social Security, including survivors and 

14 those with disabilities; 

15 (C) improve fairness for participants; and

19 THROUGH THE CANCELLATION OF UNOBLI20 GATED BALANCES. 

21 (a) FINDINGS.—The House finds the following: 

22 (1) According to the Office of Management and 

23 Budget, Federal agencies will hold $698 billion in 

24 unobligated balances at the close of fiscal year 2013. 


rfrederick on DSK6VPTVN1PROD with BILLS

•HCON 112 RH 

1 (2) These funds represent direct and discre2 tionary spending made available by Congress that 

3 remain available for expenditure beyond the fiscal 

4 year for which they are provided. 

5 (3) In some cases, agencies are granted funding 

6 and it remains available for obligation indefinitely. 

7 (4) The Congressional Budget and Impound8 ment Control Act of 1974 requires the Office of 

9 Management and Budget to make funds available to 

10 agencies for obligation and prohibits the Administra11 tion from withholding or cancelling unobligated 

12 funds unless approved by an act of Congress. 

13 (5) Greater congressional oversight is required 

14 to review and identify potential savings from 

15 unneeded balances of funds. 

16 (b) POLICY ON DEFICIT REDUCTION THROUGH THE

17 CANCELLATION OF UNOBLIGATED BALANCES.—Congres18 sional committees shall through their oversight activities 

19 identify and achieve savings through the cancellation or 

20 rescission of unobligated balances that neither abrogate 

21 contractual obligations of the Federal Government nor re22 duce or disrupt Federal commitments under programs 

23 such as Social Security, veterans’ affairs, national secu24 rity, and Treasury authority to finance the national debt.

6 SEC. 604. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE ELIMINATION OF 

7 WASTE, FRAUD, AND ABUSE IN FEDERAL PRO8 GRAMS. 

9 (a) FINDINGS.—The House finds the following: 

10 (1) The Government Accountability Office is re11 quired by law to identify examples of waste, duplica12 tion, and overlap in Federal programs, and has so 

13 identified dozens of such examples. 

14 (2) In testimony before the Committee on Over15 sight and Government Reform, the Comptroller Gen16 eral has stated that addressing the identified waste, 

17 duplication, and overlap in Federal programs ‘‘could 

18 potentially save tens of billions of dollars’’. 

19 (3) The Rules of the House of Representatives 

20 require each standing committee to hold at least one 

21 hearing every four months on waste, fraud, abuse, or 

22 mismanagement in Government programs. 

23 (4) The findings resulting from congressional 

24 oversight of Federal Government programs should

1 result in programmatic changes in both authorizing 

2 statutes and program funding levels.

4 REDUCTION OF UNNECESSARY AND WASTEFUL SPEND5 ING.—Each authorizing committee annually shall include 

6 in its Views and Estimates letter required under section 

7 301(d) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 rec8 ommendations to the Committee on the Budget of pro9 grams within the jurisdiction of such committee whose

21 families without financial penalty; and
