Support H.R. 138 – Give Caregivers Tax Advantages for Parents’ Medical Expenses

Support H.R. 138 – the Lowering Costs for Caregivers Act of 2025. By allowing family caregivers to use tax‑advantaged accounts to cover parents’ medical expenses, this bill provides essential financial relief, reduces Medicare costs, and helps seniors stay safely at home. I urge you to vote YES on this legislation and help millions of American families access affordable, high‑quality home‑care services. Help families keep their loved ones at home by letting caregivers use HSAs, FSAs, HRAs, and MSAs to pay for parents’ medical costs. More than 15 million Americans rely on home‑care services. H.R. 138 lets family caregivers tap pre‑tax dollars, reducing out‑of‑pocket expenses for medication, supplies, and professional home‑care aides. Analyses from Avalere and the Brookings Institution show that home‑care services lower Medicare spending and prevent costly hospitalizations, especially for people with chronic conditions. By easing the financial burden on family caregivers, the bill encourages them to partner with professional agencies, improving health outcomes and preserving seniors’ independence. Expanding access to in‑home care is a key component of federal strategies to meet the growing demand for aging services while keeping care affordable. H.R. 138 amends the Internal Revenue Code so that expenses incurred for a parent (or a parent of a spouse) qualify as reimbursable medical expenses under Health Savings Accounts (HSAs), Flexible Spending Arrangements (FSAs), Health Reimbursement Arrangements (HRAs), and Archer Medical Savings Accounts (MSAs). It allows pre‑tax dollars to cover a wide range of costs: home‑care agency fees, medical supplies, prescription drugs, and other essential services that keep seniors safely at home. Vote “YES” on H.R. 138 and pass the Lowering Costs for Caregivers Act of 2025. Your vote shows that you support families, senior advocates, health‑care professionals, and everyday citizens by championing a more affordable, compassionate caregiving system.
