Do You Need More Omega-3 Than Most?

From eNewsletter 10/4/2021

DID YOU KNOW that there is bipartisan legislation authorizing dietary supplement purchases using pre-tax dollars without medical necessity? H.R. 5214 recognizes dietary supplements as qualified medical expenses, and will allow supplement purchases via Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs). Patients can currently use HSA and FSA for supplements if they are considered medically necessary. Please contact your federal house reps and let them know you support this legislation. In other government-related news, a JAMA study found participation in SuperSNAP for those who are food insecure was associated with meaningful increases in healthy food purchasing. SuperSNAP is a program that provides an additional $40 per month for the purchase of fruits and vegetables with no added sugar, sodium, or fat to Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) beneficiaries. Phenomenal, although they should not have to spend an extra $40 for it, it should already be included.
