By expanding access to HSAs, this bill seeks to empower veterans to make more informed decisions about their healthcare and improve their overall well-being. Overall, the Veterans HSA Access Act of 2023 is a bipartisan effort to support and honor the men and women who have served in the US military by providing them with greater access to healthcare savings options.
