To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to allow individuals who are not eligible to participate in employer-subsidized health plans a refundable credit for their health insurance costs.
Limits the full credit to individuals whose adjusted gross income is under $30,000 ($50,000 if filing a joint return). Disallows any credit to a married individual filing a separate return, but treats married individuals living apart and filing separate returns as not married (thus qualifying them for the credit). Prescribes a formula for phase-out of the credit for taxpayers with an adjusted gross income exceeding $30,000 ($50,000 for a joint return) by less than $10,000.
Allows self-employed individuals to elect such credit or the deduction for medical expenses, but not both.
States that such credit does not apply to long- term health care insurance.
