Summary

What the bill does

This bill makes permanent a rule that lets people with high-deductible health plans use their health savings accounts to pay for certain services and items for chronic conditions before meeting their deductible. The rule was previously set by the IRS in 2019 and could have been changed. Now it is written into law.

Why it matters

The stakes

People with chronic conditions such as diabetes or heart disease could get care like blood sugar monitors or heart medications without first paying a high deductible. This affects anyone who uses a health savings account and has a long-term illness.
