S 251 United States Senate · 119th Congress

Protecting Life in Health Savings Accounts Act

This bill restricts health savings accounts (HSAs), Archer MSAs, health flexible spending accounts, and health reimbursement arrangements from covering most abortion expenses. It allows exceptions only for abortions resulting from rape or incest, or when a pregnancy poses a life-endangering risk to the woman (as certified by a physician). The law amends tax code provisions to exclude non-exempt abortion costs from being treated as qualified medical expenses for tax purposes. These changes take effect for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2025, directly affecting individuals using these specific tax-advantaged health accounts.
