An amendment offered by Rep. Mike Rogers, R-MI., and Rep. Phil Gingrey, R-GA., would help ensure that Americans retain the freedom to choose Health Savings Accounts (HSAs), Federal Savings Accounts, and High-Deductible Health Plans (HDHPs) as options for healthcare coverage. Currently more than 8 million Americans are enrolled in a HSA or HDHP; that is more than those unrolled in SCHIP and comparable to the number enrolled in the Federal Health Benefits Plan. This amendment helps fulfill President Obama's promise that all Americans can keep their health insurance if they like it by preventing the new Health Choices Commissioner from ruling these plans 'unqualified' and requiring the Commissioner to make such plans available in the new Health Insurance Exchange.
