This is the first I have seen of this type of proposal, your health insurance being included on your tax return.  Gee...will the IRS do the collecting?  There's more to the story but from one stance here, it's a change from paying premiums to the insurance companies.  BD 

The bill, known as the Healthy Americans Act, would require everyone to buy health insurance. But instead of sending a check to the insurance company, the premium for basic coverage would be tacked onto your federal income tax. You would choose from health plans offered by private insurers in your state or region. If you wanted to buy a plan that covered more than the basics, you'd pay extra.

  1. I have never liked the thought of the government getting this closely involved with our healthcare.

    What can we do to monitor this?
