“About 22 million Americans are covered by high-deductible health plans with an HSA. These are options that are increasingly popular across the spectrum because they lower premiums and they are a vehicle to save for other healthcare expenses. I think this is a good bill. It has been well articulated this afternoon, particularly by the bill's sponsor and by Mr. Thompson, and I urge its passage. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Johnson of Louisiana). The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Roskam) that the House suspend the rules and pass the bill, H.R. 1476, as amended. The question was taken; and (two-thirds being in the affirmative) the rules were suspended and the bill, as amended, was passed. A motion to reconsider was laid on the table. ____________________”
