Mr. Speaker, last week, I introduced H.R. 5126, the Helping Save Americans' Health Care Choices Act. This important legislation restores the popular Health Savings Accounts and Flexible Spending Accounts, which are diminished through taxation and restrictions under ObamaCare. Millions of Americans rely on HSAs to cover deductibles, insurance copayments, over-the-counter medications, and a plethora of other medical expenses. Furthermore, it is an excellent tool to cut health care costs while ObamaCare, itself, provides no such tools. I find it extremely ironic that the name of the current law, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, betrays the fact that it drives up costs for patients and for their employers. If you truly support health care affordability, I ask all of you to support H.R. 5126, which restores this valuable tool that saves costs. ____________________
