Macroeconomic EffectsRemoval and delay of the above-listed taxes likely would increase net business investment, employee hours worked and labor-force participation. Each of which, separately and together, would have a positive macroeconomic effect on the US economy and employment.
Because of the magnitude of its budgetary effects, this legislation is "major legislation," as defined in the rules of the House of Representatives.1 Hence, it triggers the requirement that the cost estimate, to the greatest extent practicable, include the budgetary impact of its macroeconomic effects.

- Repealing the surtax on certain high-income taxpayers’ net investment income;
- Repealing the increase in the Hospital Insurance payroll tax rate for certain
high-income taxpayers;
- Repealing the annual fee on health insurance providers; and
- Delaying when the excise tax imposed on some health insurance plans with high premiums would go into effect.
