       (c) Study of the Effects on Small Businesses of Increases 
     in the Amounts of Health Care Credit Overpayments Required to 
     Be Recaptured.--
       (1) In general.--The Secretary of Health and Human Services 
     shall conduct a study to determine if the amendments made by 
     this section--
       (A) will result in an increase in health insurance premiums 
     within the Exchanges created by the Patient Protection and 
     Affordable Care Act for employees or owners of small 
     businesses; or
       (B) will result in an increase in the number of individuals 
     who do not have health insurance coverage, a disproportionate 
     share of which are employees and owners of small businesses.
       (2) Effect of increases.--If the Secretary determines under 
     paragraph (1) that there will be an increase described in 
     subparagraph (A) or (B), or both, then, notwithstanding 
     subsection (b), the amendments made by this section shall not 
     apply to taxable years ending after the date of such 
     determination and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 shall be 
     applied and administered to such taxable years as if such 
     amendments had never been enacted.
