                        Wednesday, May 12, 2004

  Mr. RUPPERSBERGER. Mr. Speaker, the rising cost of health care is 
running out of control. With these flexible savings accounts it allows 
employers to pay for health care not covered by their health plans. It 
is only right that left over funds be rolled over into next years 
accounts. I support this bill to help people pay for their health care 
coverage.
