You note that your model does not model the proposed changes to the estate tax, changes related to provisions of the Affordable Care Act, and proposals related to treatment of foreign income for multi-national corporations. Have their been some nascent efforts for other macro-economists to model these effects?

Not that macro-econ is my specialty but the sound byte of healthcare is "1/6" of the US economy is ringing in my ears, so the ACA changes might be especially impactful. Tl:dr the hefty bullet list at the beginning seems to get the lion share of the changes, but could you explain more your assurances on how close the modelling the full effects are?
