CBO and JCT's Estimates of the Effects of the Affordable Care Act on the Number of People Obtaining Employment-Based Health InsuranceThe Effects of the Affordable Care Act on Employment-Based Health Insurance
CBO and the staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) continue to expect that the Affordable Care Act (ACA)—the health care legislation enacted in March 2010—will lead to a small reduction in the number of people receiving employment-based health insurance. Some observers have expressed surprise that CBO and JCT have not expected a much larger reduction given the expanded eligibility for Medicaid and the subsidies for insurance coverage purchased through health insurance “exchanges” that will result from the ACA.      Testimony on CBO's Appropriation Request for Fiscal Year 2013
Testimony before the Subcommittee on Legislative Branch, Committee on Appropriations, United States Senate H.R. 4119, the Border Tunnel Prevention Act of 2012
As ordered reported by the House Committee on the Judiciary on March 6, 2012 CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 4119 would have no significant cost to the federal government. Enacting the bill could affect direct spending and revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. However, CBO estimates that any effects would be insignificant for each year. H.R. 2050, the Idaho Wilderness Water Resources Protection Act
As ordered reported by the House Committee on Natural Resources on February 29, 2012 H.R. 3263, the Lake Thunderbird Efficient Use Act of 2011
As ordered reported by the House Committee on Natural Resources on February 29, 2012 H.R. 3263 would authorize the Secretary of the Interior to allow the Norman water project in central Oklahoma to store water conveyed from other projects. Enacting H.R. 3263 would affect direct spending; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. Based on information from the Bureau of Reclamation, however, CBO estimates that any impact on net direct spending would be negligible. Enacting the legislation would not affect revenues. H.R. 1335, a bill to revise the boundaries of the Gettysburg National Military Park to include the Gettysburg Train Station, and for other purposes
As ordered reported by the House Committee on Natural Resources on February 29, 2012 H.R. 1335 would expand the boundaries of the Gettysburg National Military Park in Pennsylvania to include two nearby properties. CBO expects that the National Park Service (NPS), which administers the park, would purchase a small parcel of land containing the newly refurbished Gettysburg Train Station and would accept (from the Gettysburg Foundation) the donation of a 45-acre tract of land along Plum Run in Cumberland Township. H.R. 2947, a bill to provide for the release of the reversionary interest held by the United States in certain land conveyed by the United States in 1950 for the establishment of an airport in Cook County, Minnesota
As ordered reported by the House Committee on Natural Resources on February 29, 2012 H.R. 2947 would remove certain use restrictions from land that was conveyed by the federal government to the state of Minnesota in 1950. Under current law, if the land is not used for purposes related to the operation of Cook County Airport, it must be returned to the United States. H.R. 665, Excess Federal Building and Property Disposal Act of 2012
As provided to CBO by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on February 28, 2012 H.R. 665 would amend the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act (Property Act) to facilitate the disposal of federal real property by giving the General Services Administration (GSA) new authorities. In addition, the legislation would establish a five-year pilot program to expedite the disposal of excess and surplus federal property. H.R. 2240, the Lowell National Historical Park Land Exchange Act of 2011
As ordered reported by the House Committee on Natural Resources on February 29, 2012 H.R. 2240 would enable the National Park Service (NPS) to acquire and integrate new lands into the Lowell National Historical Park through exchanges with public agencies. Under current law, NPS can only acquire lands for the park through donation. Based on information provided by NPS, CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 2240 would have no significant impact on the federal budget. |
