It was already practically impossible to get a deduction for medical expense, so big deal.

As long as the government spends more than they take in how can you expect a tax cut?

So you're claiming it wouldn't cost (the government) anything to leave it alone??? Personally this has been my biggest deduction the past few years and with the way my health insurance premiums have been climbing its been a very easy deduction to reach. And they're taking my second biggest deduction, the state income tax one, away too.

If you are buying an individual health plan you can easily qualify for the deduction. My premiums are 25 pct of my income
