Summary of Bill HR 5787

The Veterans HSA Access Act of 2023, also known as Bill 118 hr 5787, is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress. The purpose of this bill is to provide veterans with greater access to Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) in order to help them better manage their healthcare expenses.

Under this bill, veterans who receive healthcare services from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) would be eligible to contribute to an HSA. This would allow them to save pre-tax dollars for medical expenses such as copayments, deductibles, and other out-of-pocket costs. Additionally, veterans would be able to use their HSA funds to pay for certain over-the-counter medications and other healthcare expenses not covered by their VA benefits.

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.
