Currently, married couples cannot contribute to a health savings account if either spouse has a health flexible spending account, even if they have separate coverage. This bill would change that rule to allow one spouse to contribute to a health savings account while the other spouse uses a flexible spending account. The change would give families more flexibility in how they save money for medical expenses.
