They’ve changed the rules since then—I ended up in the same place, but was able to get out. I spent every penny on “medical supplies,” and upgraded my first aid kits to full-scale medical kits for prepping. It’s worked out well, but it’s not necessary today.
This change looks really good to me since I’m looking at changing jobs and the new “benefits” has a high deductible. I’d like to build up a reserve, and/or have the deductions tax free...
Well, I suppose it’s really moot to me. I’ve been a contractor (in IT) for many years now and have had no health insurance since the day Obamacare went official in 1/1/2014. The one time since then we thought we were going to have a significant medical expense, prayer, followed by a miraculous healing ended it. :)
