Support the HSA Bill!

For years now, ANH-USA has supported expanding qualified HSA expenses to include dietary supplements. The current bill, S 380, allows Health Savings Account (HSA) funds to go toward dietary supplements; the same would apply to Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs). The COVID-19 pandemic underscores the importance of expanding access to supplements and natural products that can help in the fight against this virus—we must support this bill.

Write to Congress and tell them to support S.380!

Please support S 380, The Health Savings Act

Dear [Decision Maker],

The Health Savings Act (S. 380) would allow Health Savings Account (HSA) funds to go toward dietary supplements ; the same would apply to health Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs).

The COVID-19 pandemic underscores the importance of expanding access to supplements and natural products that can help in the fight against this virus--we must support this bill, either on its own or as part of larger COVID-19 relief efforts.

Given what we know about the virus so far, simple supplements like vitamin D, zinc, quercetin, and vitamin C can be very helpful. At-risk consumers who are looking to supplement their healthy lifestyles with essential nutrients should have the flexibility to utilize their HSA for these health products during this global pandemic.

This bill is important because so many natural health advocates depend on HSAs and FSAs -- they can be used for integrative doctor visits and treatments not covered by conventional insurance. And of course nutritional supplements are an integral part of natural health. Despite the fact that over half of Americans take supplements, most healthcare plans do not cover them. Expanding HSAs to include supplements will increase consumer access and choice, not to mention overall consumer health. This is a particularly important measure to pass during a pandemic in which many doctors are recommending supplements like vitamin C, D, zinc, and others.

HSA plans slow the growth in healthcare spending. A 2012 study from the Rand Corporation found that families with consumer-directed health coverage like HSAs and FSAs spent an average of 21% less in the first year after switching from traditional coverage. The study found that if even half of consumers who had employer-sponsored coverage were in such plans, healthcare costs would fall by $57 billion.

Please support S380!
