H.R. 22, Hire More Heroes Act of 2015 [i] (January 6, 2015)

handle is hein.congrec/cbo2030 and id is 1 raw text is: CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE Douglas W. Elmendorf, Director U.S. Congress Washington, DC 20515 January 6, 2015 Honorable Paul Ryan Chairman Committee on Ways and Means U.S. House of Representatives Washington, DC 20515 Dear Mr. Chairman: The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) and the staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) have completed an estimate of the budgetary effects of H.R. 22, the Hire More Heroes Act of 2015. CBO and JCT estimate that enacting H.R. 22 would reduce revenues, and thereby increase budget deficits, by $858 million over the 2015-2025 period (see attached table). The Hire More Heroes Act of 2015 would amend section 4980H(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code to provide that employees who have medical coverage under TRICARE or certain programs administered by the Veterans Administration would not be taken into account for purposes of determining whether the employer is large enough to be subject to employer responsibility payments under the Affordable Care Act. CBO and JCT expect that enacting the bill would reduce the number of employers that would be required to make such employer responsibility payments, thus reducing federal receipts. Because the bill would not affect individuals' eligibility for any type of health insurance coverage or the costs of that coverage, CBO and JCT anticipate that it would have a negligible effect on the number of people without health insurance and the sources of coverage for people who will be insured.
