I'm no CPI expert, but I don't think this statement is really accurate.

Rent is including in CPI; home prices are not. See https://economics.stackexchange.com/a/4779. The sidebar should provide links to multiple other questions asking why that is the case.

Tuition and fees are included in the CPI as well. See https://www.bls.gov/cpi/factsheets/college-tuition.htm and https://www.bls.gov/cpi/factsheets/elementary-and-high-schoo...

Finally, some measure of healthcare is also part of the CPI. See https://www.bls.gov/cpi/factsheets/medical-care.htm.

It includes "out-of-pocket" expenses which in the BLI's definition means:

* patient payments made directly to retail establishments for medical goods and services;

* health insurance premiums paid for by the consumer, including Medicare Part B; and

* health insurance premiums deducted from employee paychecks.
