U.S. Chamber of Commerce
June 6, 2012
"The U.S. Chamber of Commerce ... strongly supports H.R. 436 ... The new requirement that FSA and HSA account holders cannot use tax-preferred funds from these accounts to purchase OTC items unless they obtain a prescription limits access to affordable care, increases costs to the health care system, and places a new administrative burden on medical professionals. ... However, the Chamber is concerned about the FSA cash-out provision of the bill, which would allow employees to take the funds that remain in their accounts at the end of the year."

U.S. Chamber of Commerce
Mar. 29, 2007
Excerpt: The Chamber recognizes that proponents believe this legislation is necessary to help alleviate the concern of potential discrimination, which may be preventing some individuals from using genetic services. Indeed, it may be possible to address this concern in a targeted manner, without radically re-writing medical privacy laws.

Employers Council on Flexible Compensation [ECFC]
June 8, 2012
"Under the use it or lose it rule, health care FSA participants must either use all of their FSA dollars or forfeit them at the end of the plan year. ECFC has long supported efforts to overturn this rule either through legislative action such as the cash-out approach envisioned in the bipartisan H.R. 1004, the Medical FSA Improvement Act, or a 'roll over' put in place through regulatory action, which we fully believe the Administration has the authority to undertake."

Sen. Tom Harkin [IA], U.S. Senate
Dec. 10, 2014
"Unfortunately, the approach put forth by the House ... is not balanced and fails to fix the multiemployer system. It is focused almost purely on cutting retiree benefits. More than one million people could see their pensions cut. Meanwhile, it leaves PBGC woefully underfunded, pushing out insolvency by just two years. The approach fails to include any of the proposals to allow innovative, hybrid plan designs for the future."

"The new exemptions are intended to apply only to those insurance plans sold to Americans working overseas and non-U.S. persons working in America. The law defines an expatriate as someone who spends at least six months working outside of the country. It also clarifies that the expatriate plans must comply with laws that existed before the ACA went into effect."

Physicians for a National Health Program [PNHP]
July 5, 2007
Excerpt: It is not surprising to me that studies demonstrate that healthcare and health outcomes in Canada compare favourably to those in the U.S. Like any complex human system, Canada's Medicare is not without its problems. Wait times in our system have drawn a lot of attention and frankly some outlandish claims made in the media.
