Every employee out there whose employer offers health insurance to them receives that health insurance without paying taxes on it. The employer gets a tax deduction for that. We are talking about the self-employed.

What this would do is to make it fair so that those people who are out there taking risks, trying to develop new opportunities in the economy are treated the same as everyone else.
