I don't see how it will lower healthcare costs to citizens if it doesn't lower the actual cost of healthcare. If the cost of healthcare were to continue to drastically rise, the cost of insurance premiums would rise right along with it.

Well now X amount for health insurance and do not write it off on my taxes. This new plan is proposing I can write it off. Therefore I will be paying less when I write it off. Maybe I should have said insurance instead of healthcare.

I see what you are saying and I think this would only be temporary relief from the rising cost of health insurance. I don't really forsee a slowdown in the cost of healthcare or insurance premiums.
