H.R. 2668
An act to delay the application of the individual health insurance
mandate, to delay the application of the employer health
insurance mandate, and for other purposes
As passed by the House of Representatives on July 17, 2013
SUMMARY
H.R. 2668 would delay the implementation of several provisions related to the expansion
of health insurance coverage established by the Affordable Care Act (ACA, Public Law
111-148 and the health care provisions of P.L. 111-152). Title I of H.R. 2668 would delay
for one year the requirement that most residents of the United States have health insurance
coverage by January 1, 2014. Title I also would shift by one year the schedule of penalties
for people who do not comply with that mandate.
In addition, title II of the legislation would delay for one year the imposition of penalties
for certain large employers that do not offer health insurance coverage that meets the
affordability standard defined in the ACA and two reporting requirements for certain large
employers and health insurance coverage providers.
CBO and the staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) estimate that enacting
H.R. 2668 would reduce federal deficits by roughly $36 billion over the 2014-2018 period
and by roughly $35 billion over the 2014-2023 period. Those budgetary effects would
result entirely from title I. Title II would not affect direct spending or revenues since it
essentially codifies changes announced by the Administration and subsequently
incorporated into CBO's baseline.' Pay-as-you-go procedures apply because enacting the
legislation would affect direct spending and revenues.
JCT has determined that H.R. 2668 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector
mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA).
