How about a tax break for the healthy?

RE: OHIP should cover naturopath­y (July 6)

Not only do I agree with the writer, I’d like to take it a step further. I don’t claim that I never slip up but for the most part out of concern for my health I try to eat healthy and exercise. As a result I rarely need to see a doctor or purchase a prescripti­on. Medical expenses are partially tax deductible; wouldn’t it make sense to give a tax break to the people who are not draining the health-care system?
