re: #510 lawhawk

The second half of that op-ed:

deals in part with OTC drugs (which is the part I commented on). The first part deals with 6001 - the doctor/hospital portion you commented on).

Presumably, the point about the OTC requirement is that it requires you to be treating an actual medical condition via an OTC drug in order to benefit from the FSA tax break. If the cheapest way of treating a medical condition is for your doctor to write you a note for an OTC drug, why would your doctor do anything else?
