The Affordable Care Act’s individual market is likely to have significant legislative policy changes this year. However, if there is not a fundamental restructuring of how the subsidy system works, weird things are likely to happen that are counter-intuitive.

The federal premium tax credit (PTC) serves as a gap filler. The PTC is designed so that two households that are identical in all aspects (age composition, number of household members, and family income as a function of countable federal poverty level (FPL)) pay the same amount out of pocket for their benchmark plan even if there are massive differences in the gross premium of the benchmark plan.
