Sponsored By: Representative Roy
Introduced
Summary
Health Freedom Accounts (HFAs) would replace Health Savings Accounts across the tax code and reshape tax-advantaged health saving by expanding who can deduct contributions and what counts as medical expenses.
Show full summary
- Families and individuals: Would raise the individual contribution limit to $12,000 and double that for joint filers, letting more money be saved tax-advantaged for health.
- Older savers: Would add a $5,000 catch-up for people 55 or older, encouraging larger pre-tax health savings as they age.
- Account rules and expenses: Would allow rollovers into another HFA if redeposited within 60 days and remove the monthly "eligible individual" requirement so more people can deduct contributions. Would expand qualified expenses to include direct primary care and health care sharing ministries.
- Employers and workers: Would create a phased tax exclusion so employer contributions to HFAs are excluded from employee income for workers hired five years after enactment.
Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.
Bigger HFA contributions for individuals
If enacted, you could put more money into a Health Freedom Account. The annual cap would be $12,000 for single filers and $24,000 for joint filers. If you are 55 or older, you could add an extra $5,000 each year. You could also deduct HFA contributions even if you were not eligible every month. These changes would apply to months in tax years starting after enactment.
New tax rules for employer HFA money
Starting with tax years after enactment, employer HFA contributions would be treated as employer health coverage for tax purposes. For employees hired on or after 5 years after enactment, employer HFA contributions would be tax‑free income. For those future hires, the usual tax break for employer health insurance would not apply; instead, the HFA money would be excluded. Employers and workers would need to plan for these timing rules.
Use HFA for direct care and sharing
If passed, you could use HFA dollars to pay for direct primary care and health care sharing ministries. This would expand what counts as qualified medical expenses. It would apply to months in tax years starting after enactment.
More flexible HFA rollovers and deposits
You would get a 60‑day window to roll HFA money into another HFA without tax. Non‑cash contributions to HFAs would be allowed; cash would not. These rules would apply to months in tax years starting after enactment.

HR21 — Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act
Mandates care and penalties for infants born alive after an abortion. This bill would set standards of care, require reporting, create criminal penalties, and allow civil suits when an infant is born alive following an abortion. - Women and families: A woman on whom an abortion is performed may sue anyone who violates the law and recover objectively verifiable medical and psychological damages, punitive damages, and statutory damages equal to three times the cost of the abortion. Courts must award reasonable attorney's fees to prevailing plaintiffs and may award fees to defendants if a suit is frivolous. - Health care practitioners and facility employees: Any practitioner present at a birth resulting from an abortion must exercise the same professional skill, care, and diligence as for any other live-born infant of the same gestational age. Practitioners or employees who know of a failure to comply must immediately report the violation to appropriate State or Federal law enforcement. - Criminal and statutory consequences: Violators face fines, up to 5 years in prison, or both, and anyone who intentionally kills a born-alive infant is punished under the murder statute. The bill also updates chapter headings and adds statutory definitions for "abortion" and "attempt."
HR425 — Repealing Big Brother Overreach Act
Ends the Corporate Transparency Act and removes its amendments from federal law. It also adjusts related U.S. Code citations and parts of the Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2020 to reflect that repeal. - Repeals the Corporate Transparency Act as title LXIV of division F of the William M. (Mac) Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 (Public Law 116-283) and removes all amendments made by that Act. - Edits Title 31, United States Code by removing or changing cross-references that mentioned section 5336 and updating references in sections 5321 and 5322. - Alters the Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2020 by repealing section 6502 and striking or modifying portions of section 6509 as described in the bill.
HR589 — FACE Act Repeal Act of 2025
Repeals the federal prohibition on blocking access to clinic entrances. This bill would repeal Section 248 of Title 18, removing the federal criminal ban on interfering with access to clinic entrances. The repeal would apply to prosecutions that are pending on, or commenced on or after, the date of enactment.
HR22 — SAVE Act
Requires documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in Federal elections. The bill would add verification, recordkeeping, and new penalties while creating a sworn-affidavit and official‑verification path for people who cannot present documents. - Voters without documents: People who lack documentary proof would rely on a standardized sworn affidavit or an official verification process the Election Assistance Commission (EAC) must develop. Provisional ballots could still be cast and counted if citizenship is later verified. - State agencies and DMVs: Motor vehicle agencies and other voter registration points would be required to collect and record citizenship documents and to notify applicants in advance. The Federal mail registration form would be revised and the EAC must issue guidance within 10 days of enactment. - Removal and enforcement: States could use Department of Homeland Security Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (DHS SAVE), the Social Security Administration (SSA) verification service, and state ID data to identify and remove noncitizens. The bill expands private suits and increases criminal penalties for knowingly registering or assisting noncitizens.
HR925 — Dismantle DEI Act of 2025
Bans many federal Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) practices across the federal government. The bill would define a narrow set of "prohibited DEI practices," require agencies to end DEI offices and related programs, and block similar DEI requirements for contractors, grantees, accrediting bodies, and parts of the military and financial regulators.
HR1919 — Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act
Bars the Federal Reserve from issuing a central bank digital currency (CBDC) or any similar digital asset. It would also stop Fed banks from offering accounts or financial products to individuals and prevent using a CBDC to carry out monetary policy, while leaving a narrow exception for an open, permissionless, privacy-preserving dollar-like currency. - Households and individuals: Would block the Fed from holding accounts for people or providing financial products directly, limiting any direct relationship between individuals and Federal Reserve banks. - Federal Reserve and monetary policy: Would ban the Board of Governors from testing, studying, developing, creating, or implementing a CBDC and bar the Fed and the Federal Open Market Committee from using a CBDC to conduct monetary policy. - Banks and intermediaries: Would forbid the Fed from indirectly offering a CBDC through banks or other intermediaries, but exempts a fully private, open, dollar-denominated currency that preserves cash-level privacy.
