Disallows a trade or business expense deduction for certain employee remuneration in excess of $1,000,000 for a taxable year. Title II: Medicare Provisions - Amends the title XVIII (Medicare) of the Social Security Act to add as program benefits: (1) influenza and tetanus-diphtheria booster vaccinations; and (2) well-child care services. Increases certain monthly premiums to finance such additional benefits. Title III: Health Care of Coal Miners - Coal Industry Retiree Health Benefit Act of 1991 - Amends the Internal Revenue Code to establish the Coal Industry Retiree Health Benefit Corporation to administer a program for the provision of retiree health benefits in the coal industry. Establishes the Coal Industry Retiree Benefit Fund for the deposit of all amounts received by the Corporation. Requires the following payments to the Corporation: (1) a premium on each hour worked in coal production by employees paid by each person that produces bituminous coal for use or sale; (2) a per-ton premium obligation on bituminous coal importers; and (3) an annual per beneficiary premium paid by each last signatory operator and each other employer. Sets forth the eligibility requirements for benefits for orphan miners, and spouses and dependents of orphan miners or deceased coal miners. Requires the Corporation to provide specified medical and death benefits to such persons. Directs the Corporation to develop managed care rules applicable to the payment of benefits.

Provides for treatment as a sham transaction any transaction whose principal purpose is to evade or avoid liability under this Act.
