Route chip_premium through spm_unit_medical_out_of_pocket_expenses#8103
Conversation
Introduces a new SPM-unit-level MOOP variable that combines the person-level imputed `medical_out_of_pocket_expenses` with TaxUnit-level rules-based premium variables. `chip_premium` (from #8086) is the first such premium; Marketplace and Medicare Part B (#8095) and Medicaid expansion premiums (#8102) will slot in here as they land. `spm_unit_spm_expenses` now reads the wrapper rather than listing the premium variables individually. This keeps person-level MOOP stable for existing consumers (SNAP excess medical deduction, state itemized medical deductions) while SPM resources correctly reflect computed premium costs. Addresses #8100.

Summary
Introduces
spm_unit_medical_out_of_pocket_expenses— an SPM-unit-level MOOP variable that combines person-level imputedmedical_out_of_pocket_expenseswith TaxUnit-level rules-based premium variables (currently justchip_premiumfrom #8086; Marketplace / Medicare Part B / Medicaid-expansion premiums will slot in as #8095 and #8102 land).spm_unit_spm_expensesrefactored to read the wrapper rather than listing MOOP and premiums side-by-side.Why
#8090 added
chip_premiumas a sibling ofmedical_out_of_pocket_expensesinsidespm_unit_spm_expenses. Functionally correct for SPM net income. Conceptually off — a CHIP premium IS a medical out-of-pocket expense. This PR puts it where it belongs. See #8100 for fuller rationale.Person-level
medical_out_of_pocket_expensesstays untouched, so state medical-expense deductions (AL, AR, HI, MT, NJ, NM, NY, MO, PR) and SNAP excess medical deduction are unaffected.Testing
