This bill provides a tax deduction for health insurance premiums paid to provide medical insurance coverage for an individual, the individual’s spouse, and the individual’s dependents. Under the bill, the tax deduction may be claimed as an adjustment to income (also known as an above-the-line tax deduction), which does not require the individual to itemize deductions.
