Can a smarter, more informed DUer explain how tax credits would work for healthcare?

[mulsh]

29. folks living pay check to pay check would get a voucher crediting the payments they can't afford to

make. They can then claim the deduction on their simple tax returns, if they file a tax return. I think the money they couldn't afford to spend comes back the next year in their tax return. Oh wait, that only works if you file the one with deductions. hmmm.

It's an elegant solution: it sounds like a good deal unless you're one of those mythical people living pay check to pay check, or under water after working two jobs or someone with a remnant of care for your fellow citizens.

Kind of like school vouchers work for average people except more cruel and even less beneficial.

(re: school vouchers, every private school I know of requires parent participation or charges a fee if parents cant participate, this is never included in any voucher plan I've ever seen,. the plans don't cover any additional fees or costs either. Just one of the issues I've got with vouchers)
