Just heard you'll no longer be able to use them for over the counter. How about a big lol on only hitting 200,000 and above.

Why LOL? Is it because he broke his $250,000 promise or because you like to redistribute wealth?
 
Because he broke the promise. AT&T today said they will take a billion dollar charge to earnings due to losing a tax deduction on employee drug benefits. Yet another hit to me as I own a couple thosand shares. I'm sure if they are doing it the oils wlll too.

AT&T is not the only one doing this.
 
Flexible spending until Obama reparations upps I mean HC reform allowed over the counter drugs to be purchased with pre tax money. I usually put a couple grand in it, so he's hitting me a couple hundy on this alone and I don't make half his tax level.

*sigh*

Health Savings Accounts and Flexible Savings Accounts, it is what many used that had high deductible insurance to pay what they needed until they reached their deductible. Most places you could carry over amounts that were not used from the year before, the account was yours. Some you couldn't if you didn't use it, it disappeared.

Anyway, these were a popular health care solution that actually did decrease costs.

I'm hoping that with reform HSA's and FSA's won't be needed. That I can meet my deductibles out of pocket....like I have most of my working life until costs got out of control.
