Just read this article and the numbers are very surprising. Ending this tax exclusion would generate a lot of additional revenue, far more than closing other tax loopholes. Personally, being a sole practitioner, the costs of insurance are just staggering. Before switching to a high deductible health plan, it cost over $20,000 in insurance. At least it was deductible. So this tax law change would really impact a lot of small companies, more than the article really recognizes.

Annual cost of all of these tax expenditures: 0. They're already built into the rates.
The current schedule of rates was set (long) after the tax base (including all these adjustments) was defined. So when current law says a tax rate of 39.6% or whatever, it means 39.6% of income after these adjustments. It has never meant anything else.
