America is still waiting on President Trump’s “concept of a plan” to reform the Affordable Care Act (ACA), but Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) recently pitched his own preferred health reform that would allow individuals to write off their medical expenses as a tax deduction.
You seem to be implying that an income deduction would mean they would eventually get the money back come refund time. Are you getting deductions confused with tax credits? I haven’t looked at Hawley’s plan, but a deduction would fall well short of closing the ACA gap even if they had the savings to pay it up front. Once again, Trumplicans are proving they have no plan other than to revert to using ERs as day clinics.
