Many people, including those who need health care in rural areas, will be hurt by the bill, but some New Yorkers will benefit from it. Some workers in New York, who earn tips, will potentially see some extra money in their paychecks. Workers who mainly earn their income from tips may be pleased with the bill; however, there is some fine print.

Tip workers will be able to deduct $25,000 in tips from their taxable income each year. Garrett Watson of the Tax Foundation told NPR, "If you look at the data on tipped income, that would cover the majority of individuals earning tips in the United States. So, it's still pretty generous for most workers."

Executive Director at the Yale Budget Lab, Martha Gimbel, says it won't benefit low-income tip workers in New York very much, since they already don't pay that much in taxes.

"Very low income Americans are not going to benefit from this, largely because they already have little to no taxable income. And so what you are largely seeing is that this provision will benefit people who are in the middle, upper-middle income brackets."

The tax deduction will end after 2028, unless it is extended by Congress.
