Add marketplace_net_premium variable (Marketplace premium net of PTC)#8105
Conversation
Computes the annual out-of-pocket Marketplace premium after the advance
PTC is applied:
net = selected_marketplace_plan_premium_proxy − used_aca_ptc
Rules-based counterpart to the Marketplace portion of CPS-imputed
health_insurance_premiums_without_medicare_part_b. Not yet wired into
SPM MOOP because the imputed share attributable to Marketplace coverage
isn't cleanly isolable from the combined CPS variable — subtracting it
cleanly would need either a per-household "on Marketplace" flag in the
CPS imputation or a reform-delta-only application. Tracked as follow-up.
Partially addresses #8095 (Marketplace half).

Partially addresses #8095.
What
New variable `marketplace_net_premium` = `selected_marketplace_plan_premium_proxy − used_aca_ptc`.
The net out-of-pocket Marketplace premium a tax unit pays after the advance PTC is applied. Rules-based counterpart to the CPS-imputed Marketplace portion of `health_insurance_premiums_without_medicare_part_b`.
Why not wire into SPM MOOP yet
The SPM MOOP wrapper (#8103) swaps imputed Medicare Part B for rules-based Medicare Part B cleanly because there's a dedicated imputed variable (`medicare_part_b_premiums`) that can be subtracted.
For Marketplace, the CPS-imputed Marketplace net premium is commingled inside `health_insurance_premiums_without_medicare_part_b` along with employer-sponsored insurance premiums, small Medicaid/CHIP premium receipts, etc. We can't cleanly subtract the Marketplace share without either:
Either is a us-data-side change. Filing the wiring as a follow-up once the isolation mechanism is in place.
Meanwhile
Testing
3/3 tests pass: normal case, no-takeup case, PTC-exceeds-premium zero-floor case.
