In the last year alone, a recent Gallup report found that 31 million Americans borrowed money to pay for healthcare. But under the current tax system, only itemizing taxpayers\u2014those who do not take the standard deduction\u2014can use medical costs to reduce their tax burden, and only then for expenses that exceed 7.5 percent of income. That means 90 percent of American families get zero tax relief for healthcare costs. This tax deduction should be reformed and expanded.\n\nSenator Hawley\u2019s new proposal offers a straightforward solution to begin addressing the rising cost of healthcare: no taxes on healthcare costs. Using a similar mechanism as President Trump\u2019s \u201cno tax on tips\u201d and \u201cno tax on overtime\u201d policies, this legislation can wipe out federal income taxes for families who experience high health costs.\n\nThe No Taxes on Healthcare Act would:", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T20:09:11Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.hawley.senate.gov/hawley-announces-no-taxes-on-healthcare-legislation-to-lower-costs/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9400020353496075, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
