This bill changes federal rules for health savings accounts (HSAs). It would raise contribution limits, remove the requirement to have a high-deductible health plan to open one, and let HSA money pay for insurance premiums, direct primary care, health care sharing ministries, and up to $200 per month of healthy food, vitamins, supplements, and fitness costs. It would let groups called health marketplace pools offer group health plans as if they were employers. It would require hospitals to post all standard charges monthly, accept their discounted cash price as payment in full, and pay daily penalties for not complying, and it would set similar price-posting rules for clinical laboratories starting July 1, 2028.
