Bring back the pre-1986 medical deductions where we were allowed to deduct ALL medical expenses, not just the ones over a certain percentage of a persons/family’s gross (or net). As it stands, unless there has been a serious medical condition that year, no one can take advantage of that deduction.
If the deduction were reinstated, people would be more likely to pay for medical services, knowing at least that it would be deductible.

I like this idea and would add it as Proposal #9 to the above 8 points. If housing can be tax deductible, why not healthcare ? If we pay for our own healthcare, the government should not consider taking more of our money.
Now we need one more good idea to make it the 10 SUGGESTIONS.
