Due to an Obamacare provision taking effect this Saturday (Jan. 1), Americans will no longer be able to use their flexible spending account (FSA) and health savings account (HSA) pre-tax dollars to purchase non-prescription, over-the-counter medicines (with the exception of insulin).
Republicans. Pay attention! The people who voted for you certainly will be: They didn’t, don’t, and never will support Barack Obama’s attempts to destroy the American healthcare system. We don’t want ObamaCare. Mister President!
Beginning this Saturday, the 40 million Americans who use FSAs and HSAs will no longer be able to use their accounts to buy simple, everyday medicines like the following:
- Aspirin
- Antacids
- Laxatives
- Menstrual pain relievers
- Antihistamines
- Stimulants
- Anti-ulcer medicines
- Athlete’s foot cream
- Cough medicine
- Motion sickness medicine
- Anti-diarrheal medicine
- Decongestants
- Hemorrhoid cream
- Anti-flatulence medicine
The provision is just one of Obamacare’s two dozen new or higher taxes totaling nearly $600 billion over this decade. The tax increase will affect any family that has an HSA or FSA.
And, in case any of you in the Republican Party choose to forget, it is clear violation of President Obama’s oft-repeated promise not to raise “any form of taxes” on any family making less than $250,000 per year.
Remember that when Congress convenes in January and beat Obama, Reid, Dick Durbin and the entire Democratic party over the head with their lies and distortion s.
