“Not only are those expenses explicitly allowed but any other expenses that make sense are allowed. That is under the IRS standards. On top of that, the bill allows additional expenses, including medical expenses for everybody from your nondependent children to your grandparents and your grandchildren.

So much for this idea that these poor people who have these exceedingly high medical expenses--and they really do--will not be able to declare bankruptcy and do straight bankruptcy in chapter 7. Again, if you are under the median income in your State, you are not even subject to the calculations anyway.
