Budgetary Effects of Health Insurance Coverage Provisions
The $935 billion in estimated deficit reduction over the 2017-2026 period that would stem from the insurance coverage provisions includes the following amounts (shown in
Table 3):
• A reduction of $880 billion in federal outlays for Medicaid;
• Savings of $673 billion, mostly stemming from the elimination of the ACA’s subsidies for nongroup health insurance—which include refundable tax credits for premium assistance and subsidies to reduce cost-sharing payments—in 2020;
• Savings of $70 billion mostly associated with shifts in the mix of taxable and nontaxable compensation resulting from net decreases in the number of people estimated to enroll in employment-based health insurance coverage; and
• Savings of $6 billion from the repeal of a tax credit for certain small employers that provide health insurance to their employees.
