On January 14th, Representative Michelle Bachmann introduced House Bill 502, the Health Care Freedom of Choice Act. This bill would make medical expenses, including health care premiums, 100% tax-deductible for all individuals. Under current law, health insurance is tax-free for those who receive it through their employers. This bill would give this same tax benefit to people who buy their own health insurance or pay for medical care “out-of-pocket.” This will allow members of health care sharing ministries the freedom to use their health care dollars as they choose and receive equal tax treatment with those that purchase insurance or receive it through their employer. It is our prayer that this beneficial legislation will be enacted.
