Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL) has filed an amendment (Amdt. No. 3111) that would do three things:

It would require the use of a meaningful and effective verification system to ensure that illegal aliens will not be able to access taxpayer-funded tax subsidies created by the bill;
It would prevent illegal aliens from accessing the taxpayer-funded exchange to buy insurance; and
It would maintain the 5-year waiting period in current law so that immigrants must pay into the system before they are able to receive taxpayer-funded health benefits. The 5-year waiting period is critical because it embodies the principle that immigrants should not become a public charge - or burden - to the American people.
