From Fox News: "Under the new health care law, consumers using workplace pre-tax health savings accounts will soon need a doctor's note to pay for Tylenol and an estimated 15,000 other over-the-counter drugs.
Starting Jan. 1, employees who use flexible spending accounts (FSAs), health saving accounts (HSAs), or health reimbursement arrangements (HRAs) to pay for common medications such as pain relievers, cold medicines, antacids and allergy medications will need prescriptions. The new rules don't apply to insulin."

People get the FSA's, HSAs and HRAs to save money. Now, to get a bottle of Tylenol, Benedryl, Ibuprofen, etc, you will have to go to a doctor and get a prescription. And of course, you will have to spend money to go to the doctor.
What an asinine rule brought to you by Harry Reid, Dina Titus and Shelly Berkley. And of course, we cannot leave out President Obama.
When people say repeal Obamacare, this is another reason to do so.
