An old budget law splits a year into two parts for Medicare cuts. This part changes those two figures. One goes from ten months to eleven. The other goes from two months to one.

What the document says
“(1) in clause (i), by striking "10 months" and inserting "11 months"; and (2) in clause (ii), by striking "2 months" and inserting "1 month".”
The section amends section 251A(6)(D) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (2 U.S.C. 901a(6)(D)), which divides a fiscal year into two parts for the purpose of the Medicare sequester. One month moves from the second part to the first.
What the document actually says
“(1) in clause (i), by striking "10 months" and inserting "11 months"; and (2) in clause (ii), by striking "2 months" and inserting "1 month".”
That sentence, in plain words
Ten months becomes eleven months. Two months becomes one month.
What this is about
An old law splits the year in two for these cuts. This law moves the line between the halves by one month.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
Nothing else. The section is two edits to one subparagraph.
The section works by amending the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985. That law is not indexed here, so this file does not say what the two periods govern or how deep any cut is.
