WASHINGTON – Senator Kevin Cramer has reintroduced legislation to allow dietary supplements to be purchased with Health Savings Accounts (HSA), Flexible Savings Accounts (FSA), and Health Reimbursement Arrangements (HRA).
“Nutritional supplements are preventative care, helping lower health care costs by keeping Americans healthy,” said Senator Cramer. “By modernizing the rules for savings and spending accounts, my bill would save taxpayer funds, increase consumer choice, and encourage people to invest in their health and wellness.”
The legislation would amend the Internal Revenue Code to designate certain over-the-counter dietary supplement products and foods for special dietary uses as qualified medical expenses.
The bill is endorsed by the Natural Products Association (NPA), Swanson Health Products, and the Healthcare Nutrition Council.
