To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to include certain over-the-counter medical products as qualified medical expenses.
Restoring Access to Medication Act of 2019
This bill repeals provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, as added by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, that limit payments for medications from health savings accounts, medical savings accounts, health flexible spending arrangements, and health reimbursement arrangements to only prescription drugs or insulin (thus allowing distributions from such accounts for over-the-counter drugs). The bill also allows the accounts to pay for menstrual care products.
