Bill Summary

Restoring Access to Medication Act of 2013

AI Summary

This bill, titled the Restoring Access to Medication Act of 2013, aims to reverse a provision of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) that prevented individuals from using funds from their Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and Health Flexible Spending Arrangements (FSAs) to pay for over-the-counter medications. HSAs and FSAs are tax-advantaged savings accounts designed to help people pay for qualified medical expenses. By striking out the relevant language in the Internal Revenue Code, this bill would once again allow these accounts to be used for purchasing over-the-counter drugs, effective for expenses incurred after December 31, 2013.
