The bill removes outdated restrictions that limit access to HSAs and significantly increases contribution limits, allowing more Americans to save and spend their healthcare dollars tax-free. It also expands eligible expenses to include wellness essentials, such as healthy food, vitamins, and fitness-related costs.
Expand Health Savings Accounts for all Americans by removing outdated restrictions, increasing contribution limits, and allowing HSAs to cover wellness expenses.
Occurrences
Evidence
On April 16, 2026, Burlison and Barrett introduced H.R. 8324, a bill to increase HSA contribution limits and amend health-policy provisions tied to expanded HSA eligibility and qualified expenses.
The Congressional Record Index for May 5, 2026 still lists H.R. 8324 among Burlison’s 119th Congress bills, indicating the HSA-expansion measure remained an active legislative item in the record.
Assessments
Burlison materially advanced the promise by introducing H.R. 8324 in the 119th Congress to expand HSA eligibility, increase contribution limits, and broaden qualified expenses. However, the evidence only shows bill introduction and continued listing in the Congressional Record as of May 5, 2026, not passage or enactment. Because Burlison remains in the same federal office and the legislative item appears active rather than conclusively failed, the promise is unresolved rather than delivered or never.
