Flex Spending Account

[Irulan]

Prescription sunglasses are well within IRS requirements, non-disputable. Bottom line is if your accountant approves of how you use you HSA funds, who am I to argue?

The real bottom line is that this is your money that you paid in, and unless TE is some kind of peculiar demographic, not many posters here will be taking that much of a tax benefit anyway. I would like to see tax benefits cut for excessive breeding and increased for healthcare spending and optimal education of (less) children, so who I am to argue indeed. Sacred cows are untouchable, right. Of course the real issue as we and Apple are cognizant of, is that pesky tax code, not the nuanced interpretation of said code by ones accountant or the media.

Sleazy.... I don't think a doc that writes a prescription for a bike should be called sleazy...... if more people could be encouraged to exercise regularly we'd have less illness in the first place...

If getting a bike and getting some exercise could alleviate someones typeII diabetes, obesity, mild depression, arthritis etc, I would find it far worse to not give the person the option to do it rather than simply medicating them....
