Up to $9600 per year for a married couple. For which, thanks to former 
presidend GW Bush, you can have an HSA account which generates lots of 
savings if you stay healthy. All preventative stuff such as an 
(expensive) colonoscopy are free, doesn't count against deductible.

You have no clue about this. This is EOD for me, it's useless.
