      GIVING AMERICANS MORE CHOICES ON HEALTHCARE EXPENSE SAVINGS

  (Mrs. WAGNER asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. WAGNER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of giving Americans 
more choices when deciding how to save for healthcare expenses.
  The legislation we are voting on this week will increase the number 
of Americans who are eligible to contribute to tax-free health savings 
accounts and expand the use of HSAs to cover direct primary care and 
over-the-counter medicines.
  HSAs make it easier for people to take a proactive approach to their 
own healthcare. It is time to give Americans more access and more 
choice and affordability when spending their hard-earned paychecks.
  Our legislation will also reduce premiums, roll back burdensome 
ObamaCare regulations, and give Americans more options and control when 
dealing with personal issues of healthcare.
  I look forward to casting my vote for all Missouri, especially those 
in Missouri's Second Congressional District. They deserve the freedom 
to do what is best for their families.
