Delaying ACA taxes: The Cadillac tax, originally scheduled to take effect in 2018, has since been delayed twice. H.R. 4616 would delay it a third time from 2022 (its current implementation date) to 2023. The estimated cost of the bill, which would also suspend the employer mandate, would be $39.5 billion over 10 years. The bill advanced along party lines.
Bills expanding the use of HSAs include:
- H.R. 6301, to permit wider use of HSAs by those with high-deductible health plans;
- H.R. 6305, to strengthen HSAs and flexible spending accounts (FSAs) in the workplace;
- H.R. 6306, to effectively double HSA contribution limits;
- H.R. 6309, to expand HSA eligibility to working seniors; and
- H.R. 6317, to expand HSA uses to include direct primary care.
