The itemized medical deduction originated in 1942 with a worthy goal—to mitigate the tax burden on those facing hardship from high health care costs. Is it still doing what it was designed to do?

I write in today's Briefing Book how Trump tariffs have misfired economically & geopolitically.
Trade modeling shows Trump tariffs to date would raise US prices 5.4% and lower US real income 0.8%.
And they hurt Canada and Mexico far more than China.

Incomplete take-up of the itemized medical deduction diverts savings from less healthy individuals. Claiming imposes significant economic burdens, reducing the implied net savings, from @ipogadog nber.org/papers/w33213

🚨New working paper alert!🚨
One way the U.S. gov’t subsidizes medical spending is by allowing certain expenses to be deducted on tax returns. But who is eligible, who claims it and why, and what are the implications?

I'm in @Briefing_Book this morning with @weakinstrument looking at the effect of the switch to online interviews in the University of Michigan Survey of Consumers. TL;DR: Consumer Sentiment is currently being biased down by 9 points due to the switch. /1
