12. This idea makes my brain hurt.

NO. Food shouldn't be taxed and health shouldn't be taxed and all this does is complicate matters.

Tax health benefits to then dole out health benefits, it just makes me dizzy.

Why in California, for example, can I not deduct medical costs unless I file paperwork with an Insurer and collect receipts, and plan for X $$ to be set aside from my paycheck every month.

This was a forced situation when I was in public education, a 504 plan or some such. And if you forgot to save receipts you forfeited the money set aside.

Just make fucking health costs directly deductible and don't fucking tax health plans.
