It says it can be deducted if you exceed 7.5% of your adjusted gross income. I definitely didn't exceed that, but maybe someone who doesn't have insurance or spent ALOT on supplies can benefit from this.

    Yes, they did raise it to 10%, this is part of the medical deduction. And you also have to itemize (not take the standard deduction). But it could help out a bit. Every little bit helps!!
