Expand access to Health Savings Accounts

AI-assisted summary

Burlison’s proposed Great American Healthcare Act would let more Americans establish and contribute to Health Savings Accounts, including people enrolled in Medicare, Medicaid, or ACA coverage and eligible participants in Health Care Sharing Ministries. It would raise annual contribution limits to the level available for a 401(k) and allow HSA funds to cover a broader range of qualified expenses. Burlison presents the changes as a way to give individuals more control over healthcare spending and savings.
