CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 5273 would increase direct spending by $50 million over the 2017-2021 period but decrease direct spending by $14 million over the 2017-2026 period. Pay-as-you-go procedures apply because enacting the legislation would affect direct spending. Enacting the bill would not affect revenues. CBO estimates that enacting the legislation would not increase net direct spending or on-budget deficits by more than $5 billion in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2027. H.R. 5273 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) and would impose no costs on state, local, or tribal governments. ESTIMATED COST TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT The estimated budgetary effect of H.R. 5273 is shown in the following table. The costs of this legislation fall within budget function 570 (Medicare).
