The freedom to make one’s own health care decisions is a fundamental human right. When government protects that right, innovation and competition make health care more universal—better, more affordable, and more secure. When government taxes our earnings or restricts our choice of providers, treatments, and health insurance, it denies that right and makes health care less universal.

Making Health Savings Accounts Work for Everyone
Health savings accounts, or HSAs, are tax‐free accounts that let workers control their health care dollars without penalty. Taxpayers with high‐deductible health plans can put money in an HSA, then either save those funds or use them to pay out‐of‐pocket medical expenses, all tax‐free.
At present, health savings accounts free only a small share of workers to control only a small share of those earnings. Congress can restore health care rights and improve health care by making health savings accounts work for everyone.
