I like most of what you have to say here except what is said under Myth 17.

Andrew, the reality is that MOST people are getting absolutely SHITTY care from their doctors who take insurance. And the driver behind that shitty care is... THE INSURANCE COMPANIES.

NOT TAXING insurance payments INCENTIVIZES this racket further. It incentivizes them to try to murder us for profit and commit other evil just as they did during COVID, just as they're STILL trying to do with the COVID shots and now, the latest mRNA flu shots.

We need another industry disrupter.

EPIC needs to make ALL medical care non-taxable.

EPIC can't fix it that Obamacare is taxing medical appliances and other stuff related to medical care, but it will still give those of us who can't afford to get the medical care we need outside of this broken system (but really need to do so) a little extra boost in the right direction.

Go back and read closely. Notice the mention of an excise tax? This is where insurance companies pay. In addition, what constitutes medical care? Botox injections? The health care community has been trying to incentivize preventive health care. But the system in place tells you it is ok and you just need to take a pill for your problems. At the same time, please note, the consumption tax is minor compared to the current tax system. Your actual objection is the consumption tax is transparent.
