About this vote

Under the Congressional Review Act, Congress can pass a joint resolution of disapproval to overturn a federal agency rule; this one targets the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services rule titled "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, HHS Notice of Benefit and Payment Parameters for 2027; and Basic Health Program." The motion to proceed, which would have started debate, was rejected, so the Senate did not take up the resolution.
