"Under current rules, health consumers may use these pre-tax accounts to purchase non-prescription, over-the-counter medicines. But on New Years Day 2011, the 40 million Americans who use FSAs and HSAs will no longer be able to use their accounts to buy simple, everyday medicines like the following:
- Aspirin
- Antacids
- Laxatives
- Menstrual pain relievers
- Antihistamines
- Stimulants
- Anti-ulcer medicines
- Athlete’s foot cream
- Cough medicine
- Motion sickness medicine
- Anti-diarrheal medicine
- Decongestants
- Hemorrhoid cream
- Anti-flatulence medicine"

What a pity, more burden on the American people as if Recession hasn't done enough.
