What this bill would do
This bill, titled the "Health Marketplace and Savings Accounts for All Act," seeks to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 regarding Health Savings Accounts (HSAs). It proposes increasing the limits on how much can be contributed to these accounts and expands what qualifies as a medical expense to include wellness items like gym memberships and vitamins. The legislation also allows for HSA rollovers to children, parents, or grandparents. Additionally, it introduces the concept of "health marketplace pools" which would be treated as employers for the purpose of offering group health plans or insurance.
