Dear Neighbor,

Only two legislative weeks remain in July until the House is out for August recess. During those busy weeks in August, we’ll be all over the district, visiting businesses, manufacturing facilities, health care practices, and more. We look forward to seeing you and your families as we relish the time back in the best congressional district in the country.

This week, we wanted to share a few important bills we’ve co-sponsored over the last several weeks that affect our veterans, farmers, and all American taxpayers. You can take a look at each of those bills below to learn more about them.

We hope you have a great weekend and look forward to sharing more from Washington, D.C. next week as July comes to a close.

With all that’s happening this Congress, it is my greatest honor to represent you and hear from you about the issues that matter most. You can read below about what we’ve been up to this week, and as always, you can stay up to date with us here, on our website, and on X, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.

WASHINGTON, D.C. —Congresswoman Kat Cammack and Senator Rick Scott introduced the Increasing Value for Families (IVF) with HSAs Act to help individuals and families better plan and pay for medical expenses, like in vitro fertilization (IVF), by decoupling Health Savings Accounts (HSA) from high-deductible health plans, and doubling the current contribution limits on HSAs from $4,300 to $8,600 for individuals and $8,550 to $17,100 for families.

Senator Scott and Rep. Cammack are also leading a bicameral resolution expressing their full support of IVF.

“I’m pleased to join Senator Scott on this effort to support American families and look forward to growing the legislation’s support in the House,” said Rep. Kat Cammack.  “Building and growing a family is part of the American dream for millions in our country, but for too many parents and parents-to-be, IVF’s high costs put the option out of reach. By expanding HSA eligibility and increasing contribution limits for those HSAs, we’re pursuing solutions that will help make dreams reality. I’m proud of Florida legislators’ leadership on this issue and encourage my colleagues to join me in standing by our young families.” Continue reading →
