IN the new plan, it is a CREDIT, paid only if health care costs are incurred. If you don't go to the doctor , or hospital or have tens of thousands in costs, no CREDIT is given. You didn't incur any costs, besides premiums, which are still tax deferred.

So the tax credits can't be used as a deduction against premiums paid, only additional medical expenses?
That kind of stinks, I thought it was going to offer some additional relief to help offset the high cost of premiums.
