4. The cost sharing reduction payments are not the same as the subsidies to individuals.

The increase would likely not be passed directly to consumers, however, since most of the more than 10 million people on the exchanges already receive subsidies from the government to offset the costs of premiums. According to the Department of Health and Human Services, around 70% of people on the exchanges pay less than $75 per month for insurance.

That means the higher premiums could force the federal government to adjust the amount of subsidies people receive, increasing the financial burden on the government. The CBO predicted that the federal deficit would increase by $194 billion over the next 10 years if the CSR payments ended.

"Because the tax credits would increase when premiums for silver plans rose, the agencies estimate that the average subsidy per person receiving premium tax credits to purchase non-group health insurance would increase," the report said.

People who do not receive subsidies, however, could see their premiums increase drastically.
