Actually the segment of the Federal government that I work for categorizes 2/3rds of its force as "intermittant", thus they get no benefits, vacation etc. Of the thousands of people in this group, a significant number actually are intermittent (they don't work full time, year round) but hundreds if not thousands more, do perform full time.
Many are covered by the VA or various other government plans, some others are on their spouse's insurance. Unfortunately none of those options work for me and as it is right now, there is no way I as a single unaffiliated individual, can afford to buy health insurance.
A health insurance tax break would really help a guy like me.
"A health insurance tax break would really help a guy like me."
It makes no sense that people who work for companies who provide heath insurance to their employees get tax free insurance, yet people who have to pay for it themselves have to pay for it with taxed dollars.
Our government has screwed this up with tax laws. If it were totally left to our free market system, we would not have a health care problem.
