Protecting Life in Health Savings Accounts Act
This bill restricts health savings accounts (HSAs), Archer MSAs, health flexible spending accounts, health reimbursement arrangements, and retiree health accounts from covering most abortion expenses. It prohibits these accounts from reimbursing costs for abortions unless the pregnancy resulted from rape or incest, or the woman faces a life-endangering physical condition (as certified by a physician). The policy change directly affects individuals using these specific health accounts who seek abortion coverage, excluding all other abortion-related expenses from tax-advantaged reimbursement. The exceptions are narrowly defined to cover only cases involving rape/incest or severe health risks to the woman.
