I am a Hilary supporter but I also fall into that class where I pay for my own health insurance so I would like this to be something that is resolved. I will now use this information to communicate with her about something that is unequal treatment and hope that she can do something to change it. And BTW...what's with all the Fox News Parrot Heads? Can't they at least come up with a sensible argument against here instead of just spouting rhetoric that is being fed the conservative masses?

There should be some sort of tax credit for health insurance.

I hope to never see health care as 7% of my income--but it may come to that.<br />Joe, Al, Bernie...somebody who is in touch with the working class---PLEASE step up!<br />Janettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10054888725603183006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-79013598574173806112015-10-03T15:58:13.366-04:002015-10-03T15:58:13.366-04:00An interesting discussion.

Natch, of course Obama has fought against them every step of the way. There is also a video from The Wall Street Journal interviewing the prez of Judicial Watch.<br /><br />http://www.judicialwatch.org/press-room/weekly-updates/hillary-email-alert/#anc1<br /><br />http://www.wsj.com/video/opinion-journal-hillary-version-of-transparency/E635F64F-E4AD-4722-A551-E27DAD824A03.html<br /><br />You decide. I already have my mind made up about Hillary. It may take months but the FBI will indict her.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-44371346410130999532015-10-03T13:11:58.221-04:002015-10-03T13:11:58.221-04:00Yes, JudyC, thanks for the clarification.

If you're over 65 you can itemize and take a deduction on medical expenses, includ. medical insurance, to the extent they exceed 7.5% of your income (or 10% if you're under 65). So if you make $40K a year, and you're 65 or over and you spend $5000 on medical insurance you can deduct $2000 from your income. Still a long way from an employee who gets the full $5000 tax deduction.
