Subject: Re: No taxes on healthcare costs?

Seems like a decent idea to me. Any problems with it?

A simple problem: it's another government subsidy program, that does nothing about the underlying issue: the US spends twice as much, per capita, on health care, as other first world countries.

The tax deduction for mortgage interest is another government subsidy that does nothing about builder's determination to build nothing but ever bigger, ever more expensive, houses.
