tax deductions, healthcare, and state of the union
Analysis of the state of the union isn’t the nicest thing to wake up to, but in the 8am haziness, I thought this analysis was pretty interesting.
From NPR : Fact-Checking the State of the Union Speech:
Critics also say that a tax deduction will be of little help to low-income uninsured families. They typically don’t earn enough to pay much in income tax, so even with the deduction insurance would still likely remain out of reach.
