The PHIT Act
The International Health and Racquet Sports Association (IHRSA) is the health and fitness associations National Trade Organization. They have been very active on Capitol Hill promoting and educating Congress on the PHIT Act. The PHIT Act has been around for years and continues to gain more support. PHIT stands for Personal Health Investment Today. The PHIT Act allows individuals & families to use funds in pre-tax medical accounts to lower cost of sports, fitness and other qualified physical activities & equipment such as:
The PHIT Act would make any expense exclusively intended for the sole purpose of being physically active eligible for FSA/HSA reimbursement. Consumers would save 20-37%. The attached video and website will provide more information. This bill has broad bi-partisan support. We are also very happy that MN Representative Brad Finstad is a co-sponsor of the bill. This brings the total House Co-sponsors of the PHIT Act to 44. It also has 16 Senate Co-sponsors. Although we cannot predict when or if it will be passed, we can say that the RAC fully supports the PHIT Act. |
