is health insurance deductible if im self employed?

Question

AI accountant’s answer:

Yes generally that is correct. There are some exceptions though. For example, health insurance cannot be deducted if you are eligible to participate in an employer-subsidized health plan or if you do not have enough self-employment earned income to cover the health insurance expense.
