Trump admin is looking to have you spend more money on your health insurance….

• The administration wants to change part of the calculation for determining how much of their own money ACA enrollees should have to pay toward their premiums. And the upshot is that most of them would need to pay more.
• The federal government would end up spending about $900 million less on premium subsidies, according to the proposed regulation.

The same change would also slightly loosen limits on out-of-pocket costs.

• The ACA capped total out-of-pocket spending at $8,000 per year for an individual and $16,000 per year for a family plan.
• The Trump proposal would raise those caps by $200 and $400, respectively, according to Brookings’ Matt Fiedler.
• That change would apply to people who get coverage through their jobs, not just the ACA’s insurance markets.
