Can I deduct a client sliding scale discount.

I work in health care. Sometimes I have client's that become uninsured that can't afford my full rate. I have offered a reduced sliding scale fee in these cases. Can I deduct the difference from my normal rate?

No you cannot do that. You simply have less income subject to being taxed.
