Considering what we pay in vet bills - I think this is a wonderful bill. I really hope it passes.

This is ludicrous; this has to be the ultimate in liberal garbage. Giving a tax deduction on health care for a pet. What next, do we follow the presidents Tech Czar's recommendation and allow pets to litigate against their owners. Oh, I for got we don't own them we merely coexist with them. I'm sorry if I sound sarcastic, but this is truly ridiculous, to even consider a bill like this when we have men and women in harms way, and dying for their country in a foreign war. When our country is in the most volatile debate in years over health care, someone on capital hill has the audacity to put forth a bill of this nature. I have a pet, and there is absolutely no way I could support a bill like this, in these times.

Awesome bill. It will allow us folks with four legged kids to have a deductable.
