I did our taxes last Saturday, and I realized we are paying more taxes because we are healthy! I added up our medical expenses and they were not enough to take a deduction on our taxes, so this means we are paying more because we are healthy. How is this right? Healthy people should pay LESS. We are not a drain on the health care system, we don't miss work days, and we are not passing diseases around!
The government complains about the high cost of health care, but those of us who don't drain the system are penalized. If the President is serious about making Americans healthier he should give tax breaks to healthy people who don't use the system.
