To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to treat membership in a health care sharing ministry as a medical expense, and for other purposes.
HR 2062 would allow taxpayers to deduct membership fees and medical expenses paid through health care sharing ministries (HCSMs) as medical expenses on their federal tax returns, similar to other health costs. It specifically adds HCSM membership to the list of deductible medical expenses under Internal Revenue Code Section 213(d)(1) and clarifies that HCSMs are not treated as health insurance under Section 7702C. This change directly affects individuals enrolled in HCSMs, which are faith-based or community-based cost-sharing groups operating outside traditional insurance. The bill would take effect for tax years beginning after December 31, 2025.
