Changes to abortion expense eligibility for health savings accounts.
This bill modifies rules for what medical expenses can be paid from health savings accounts (HSAs, Archer MSAs) and reimbursed through flexible spending arrangements (FSAs) and health reimbursement arrangements (HRAs). Under the new rules, most abortion costs will not be considered qualified medical expenses, meaning they cannot be paid from these accounts or reimbursed. Exceptions are made for abortions resulting from rape, incest, or when the woman's life is in danger.
