Explanation:

When you get sick and your insurance company has to pay the bill it is not included in your gross income.

What you spend on health insurance is not considered income, even if your employer pays for it. You have to include your health insurance costs in your W-2 form, but it doesn't count as income.

If you itemize your deductions, you can include health care costs but only f they exceed 7.5% of your adjusted gross income.
