        the policyholder by the insurance company in a separate
        statement,
          (B) the amount taken into account as the amount paid for such
        insurance shall not exceed such charge, and

        the amount specified in the contract (or furnished to the
        policyholder by the insurance company in a separate statement)
        as the charge for such insurance is unreasonably large in
        relation to the total charges under the contract.
        (7) Subject to the limitations of paragraph (6), premiums paid
      during the taxable year by a taxpayer before he attains the age
      of 65 for insurance covering medical care (within the meaning of
      subparagraphs (A), (B), and (C) of paragraph (1)) for the
      taxpayer, his spouse, or a dependent after the taxpayer attains
      the age of 65 shall be treated as expenses paid during the

        paragraph, the term ''cosmetic surgery'' means any procedure

          in a calendar year after 1997, each dollar amount contained
          in subparagraph (A) shall be increased by the medical care
          cost adjustment of such amount for such calendar year.  If
          any increase determined under the preceding sentence is not a
