Retirement tax questions

@VEpling2 Not knowing what the standard deduction will be in the future... if i only use the 457b dollar for dollar for private medical insurance costs wouldnt i be able to deduct the medical costs from my taxable income? Making it a tax free distribution in essence?

 

Also when trying to purchase private insurance on the marketplace exchange my income would be 50k yearly pension but the 457b funds for the medical would actually increase my taxable income giving me less of a subsidy correct?
