    a deduction is tax cut. If I deduct say $2000 and I'm in the 25% tax bracket I just got a $500 tax cut

            Not only that, if you have no other employees, employ your spouse and set up a qualified Section 105 Health Reimbursement plan as a benefit for your employee. Their health insurance will be deductible, as well as uninsured medical, dental and vision care expenses, employee disability insurance, and term insurance premiums, for your employee and their spouse and dependants.

Obama is not making that mistake... he gave them general guidelines and let them go at it. If he dictated to them what the legislation should be he would get nothing but headaches with people saying that he was overstepping his authority. Just like they did to Bush over the wire tapping, etc etc. If he goes on the offensive too hard there will be an even bigger backlash than there is right now... count on it. Once there is a bill... I have no doubt he will go on the offensive... but for right now he just needs to keep on message and play wack a mole with misinformation. If the Congress had done what he asked and produced a bill before the August recess it would be a very different game right now and the right knows that... it's why they pulled out the stops and put out so much bullshit before the August recess.
                Whoa, slow down there cowboy. I guess I wasn't clear. I only meant he needs to be explaining things to the public in better ways, using the quote in my post as an example that would make more sense to more people. I never said anything about he needs to put his head down and ram shit through.

                            Wasn't responding to you, just adding sauce to the mix. Read up on what I posted, you'll see it's quite an advantageous thing to do.

                            In addition to the existing deduction. And the tax cuts on top of it.

                                    An easy way to do it would be to simply allow us to deduct our medical expenses. If we spend $100 on co-pays during the year, that's $100 deduction on our taxes. If we get unlucky and end up with $10,000 in medical bills, we have a $10,000 deduction. We allow for deductions on so much stuff that it seems silly that we don't have a system that lets us deduct our medical expenses.

                                    P.S. I know there is a deduction out there but you have to meet some specific qualifications.

                                            Yeah be self employeed. I deduct what I pay and what I pay for my son. Why because I can because I actually read the tax code.

                                            As far as getting to deduct all your medical bills? Why? Since when is getting sick a reason not to pay taxes? I can see if that was allowed millions of people suddenly getting "sick"

                                                We allow people to write off their moving expenses, mortage interest, student loan interest, charitible donations, and much more. Don't see why it's a stretch to write off medical expenses.

                                                    :: cough cough :: hey doc, I'm sick, I think I need a $100k procedure. What say I kick you back some in order to "do" the procedure?

                                                    You think there's a fraud problem now, wait 'til you see what people would try to pull with THAT idea.

                                                        While deductions are nice, it doesn't get to the root of the problem which is that health care is getting so expensive a lot of people can't afford it or they can't afford health insurance unless it is paid for by their employer.

                                                        So writing it all off would be good for some people, if you don't have the money to pay the bill in the first place, writing it off doesn't really help you much.
