Rep. Michael Burgess (R-TX) has introduced legislation that would expand the use of Health Savings Accounts. Current law only allows HSAs to be purchased for high-deductible health plans, and contributions are restricted to levels that are often substantially lower than deductibles. The Health Savings Act of 2014 (H.R. 4777) would ensure HSAs may be used more broadly, thereby increasing patient choice in how their health care dollars are spent.
