Ah, thanks. This would still be an issue with some other benefits unless they also are tax deductible or made tax deductible for individuals. My 5% matching on my 401(k), in particular, would be an issue without increasing the tax deduction limits on 401(k)s.

It does make sense for the government to (a) allow for insurance premiums to be paid out of flexible spending accounts, (b) decouple pre-tax FSAs from employment and make them available to anybody.
Not sure why it's not part of the ACA, perhaps there are some unintended consequences (a) would cause.
