If you are buying an individual health plan you can easily qualify for the deduction. My premiums are 25 pct of my income
Things change and I have been retied for while. When I had a job Health insurance was not nom so not an expense. I have a supplemental SS plan but it doesn't come close to being a deduction for FED. State considers it though. I am from a time that soap and toothpaste was legitimate medical expense.
