Notice how there was no specifics. Currently you can any medical expense over 7.5% of Adjusted gross income would become an itemized deduction. That would include all out of pocket insurance premiums, copays and any other qualified medical expense. If a less wealthy family living in an apartment with a current standard deduction of $29K unless they paid over 30K in itemized medical expenses would probably not be able to itemize. So the deduction in Hawleys plan would not help them at all.

Let see the specifics.
