HC Reform Update from Mark Sanna: Upcoming change to flexible spending accounts, means consumers will no longer be able to set aside pretax dollars in that account to use for medicines bought without a doctor's prescription and creates a "loophole" that may allow consumers to use FSA dollars on over-the-counter medication if they obtain a prescription for it. The loophole may lead to a lot of extra trips to the doctor, overburdening doctors to write prescriptions for drugs such as aspirin.
