Wonky but important question for understanding the effects of proposals to convert ACA premium tax credits to health savings accounts: How big would the contributions be? Would they vary by income, age, and geography in the same way as the premium tax credits?

The biggest criticism of the ACA from the start was that health insurance still wasn't affordable for many. The enhanced premium tax credits, slated to expire at the end of this year, helped address that. But, the tradeoff is higher federal spending.

The value is getting into programs/training progressions that then matter to employers
