Tax Credits for Health Insurance

A quick update to two posts last December about the tax treatment of health insurance: The Tax Policy Center has posted a brief and a discussion paper by Len Burman and Jonathan Gruber on the impact of various policies to provide tax credits to promote health insurance coverage. The bottom line seems to be that the President's plan gives the lowest cost per newly insured person, though reaching only a small proportion of those currently uninsured.
