Hello John,
Millions of Americans face skyrocketing health care costs, long wait times,
and limited options, leaving many frustrated and underserved.
But there’s a solution that could change the game and improve health care
access for millions.
Last week, my op-ed, “Congress Can Put Health Care Dollars Back in Patients’
Hands
<[link removed]>
,” discussed how the ACCESS Act (HR-1157) expands access to health savings
accounts for more Americans.
Here’s what HSAs can do for your family.
HSAs are proven tools that give patients the freedom to choose the care and
services that work best for them.
They allow individuals to save tax-free dollars specifically for health
expenses, providing flexibility and control over their own health care
decisions.
But there’s a catch ...
Unfortunately, these accounts have long been out of reach for many
lower-income Americans. Right now, only a small minority of Americans with
access to a federally defined “high-deductible health plan” may contribute to
an HSA.
The ACCESS Act changes that. Here’s how it would work.
* Some low-income Americans get generous federal subsidies for their health
insurance, plus an additional subsidy to reduce their out-of-pocket health care
costs. The ACCESS Act would allow them to put that additional money directly
into their HSA (instead of sending it to the insurance company).
* Funds in the account could be used to pay for qualified medical expenses —
including for services and doctors the patient chooses, not just the ones their
insurer is willing to pay for.
* At the end of the year, unspent funds roll over to the following year,
allowing these low-income families to build a nest egg for future expenses.

Here’s how this benefits you: This ensures that up to 5 million lower-income
Americans with federally subsidized Affordable Care Act health plans will
finally have the ability to take control of their health care dollars and spend
them on what they need most — whether it’s doctor visits, prescriptions, or
preventive care. This expanded access not only empowers individuals but also
reduces unnecessary barriers to care.
And here’s the best part: The ACCESS Act wouldn’t cost taxpayers a dime. In
fact, the Congressional Budget Office estimates it wouldsave taxpayers more
than $55 billion over a decade by improving efficiency — and with deficits of
nearly $2 trillion a year around the corner, we need to save every cent we can.
It’s a smart, efficient solution that benefits patients without adding
financial strain to the system.
As I wrote in the op-ed: “Congress has a golden opportunity to advance a
policy that puts patients first.”
The time to act is now. Health care reform can’t wait, and the need for
solutions has never been more urgent.
The ACCESS Act is our chance to deliver what Americans need most: flexibility,
affordability, and choice in health care.
