What this bill would do
This bill, known as the ``Dietary Supplements Access Act'', seeks to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. It aims to include dietary supplements as qualified medical expenses. These supplements would be eligible for use with Health Savings Accounts (HSAs), Archer MSAs, Health Flexible Spending Arrangements, and Health Reimbursement Arrangements. The bill defines dietary supplements based on the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act but excludes energy drinks, soft drinks, or sodas. The changes include specific annual dollar limits for these expenses.

Potential Positive Impacts for People
- Expanded use of medical savings accounts: Under Section 2 of the bill, amounts paid for dietary supplements would be treated as medical care for HSAs (Section 2(a)(1)), Archer MSAs (Section 2(b)), Health Flexible Spending Arrangements, and Health Reimbursement Arrangements (Section 2(c)). This allows people to use these specific funds for dietary supplements.
Potential Negative Impacts for People

Annual spending limits: The bill imposes a cap on how much can be spent on these supplements. Under Section 2(a)(1), Section 2(b), and Section 2(c), the amounts treated as medical care cannot exceed $500 per taxable year, or $250 for a married individual filing a separate return.
-
Product exclusions: Not all supplement-like products qualify. According to Section 2(a)(2)(ii), the term dietary supplement does not include any product marketed, labeled, or commonly understood to be an energy drink, soft drink, or soda.
