Summary

Medicare Restore Trust Act of 1996 - Creates a point of order in the Senate against legislation that diverts savings achieved through Medicare waste, fraud, and abuse enforcement activities for purposes other than improving the solvency of the Federal Hospital Insurance Trust (trust fund) under title XVIII (Medicare) of the Social Security Act. Allows waiver or suspension of such point of order under certain circumstances. Requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services and the Attorney General, before the end of each fiscal year, to take certain joint actions to ensure the financial integrity of the trust fund against any expenditures from any account established to combat health care waste, fraud, and abuse which do not relate to the administration of the Medicare program.
