People who make or buy certain specialized firearms, such as machine guns, short-barreled rifles, silencers, and 'any other weapon' (as defined by federal law), would be directly affected. They would once again be required to pay a $200 tax per firearm when these items are manufactured or transferred, or a $5 tax for 'any other weapon' transfers.
American seniors and individuals with disabilities who rely on Medicare Part A for their hospital care would also be affected, as the bill aims to strengthen the financial health of the fund that pays for these services. Taxpayers generally contribute to the U.S. Treasury, from which the $1.7 billion appropriation would be drawn.
