next_to_normalMy dad's working on my federal tax returns this weekend, and because I now have a mortgage, I qualify for itemized deductions! So today's assignment was to total up all my out-of-pocket medical expenses for the year...
Dad: "In order to claim the deduction, though, it has to be more than $700. Do you think you spent that much?"
Me: "HAHAHA DO YOU EVEN GO HERE?"
Grand total? $2,114.16
And that's WITH health insurance. Pretty good insurance, too. I don't have a deductible or any caps, just co-pays. Lots and lots of co-pays.
I can't even imagine what I'd do without insurance. Well, I can, but it's not pretty.
