The Committee on Ways and Means is the oldest committee of the United States Congress, and is the chief tax-writing committee in the House of Representatives.

Subcommittee on Tax, Chairman: The jurisdiction of the Subcommittee on Select Revenue Measures consists of taxation and other general revenue measures that, from time to time, shall be referred to it specifically by the Chairman of the full Ways and Means Committee. The Subcommittee addresses tax policy and, most importantly, how the federal government collects tax dollars. The Select Revenues Subcommittee, also known as the Subcommittee on Taxation, works with the full Committee and other Subcommittees to determine whether the laws within the jurisdiction of the Committee (including tax, trade, health, Human Resources, and Social Security laws) are being implemented and carried out efficiently and in accordance with Congressional intent.

Subcommittee on Health: The jurisdiction of the Subcommittee on Health shall include bills and matters referred to the Committee on Ways and Means that relate to programs providing payments (from any source) for health care, health delivery systems, or health research. More specifically, the jurisdiction of the Subcommittee on Health shall include bills and matters that relate to the health care programs of the Social Security Act (including titles V, XI (Part B), XVIII, and XIX thereof) and, concurrent with the full Committee, tax credit and deduction provisions of the Internal Revenue Code dealing with health insurance premiums and health care costs.
