I know every little thing helps but come on, a 4800 deduction nets you an extra peanut at best.

Individual coverage is a lot more expensive than that for a family. Assuming no major medical issues (which bump up premiums), $1000+/month is not unlikely. That's several thousands of dollars a year if you could deduct it.

Still, this is completely separate from universal coverage.
