The healthcare.gov website says "You can use a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) to pay for copayments, deductibles, some drugs, and other health care costs. FSAs are limited to $2500 per year." Your employer may be mistaken.

Correct. The only thing you cant do is use the fund to pay for the premiums for insurance purchase in govermental exchange. The reason is the governmental exchanges are subsidized with federal money and if you use pre tax funds it would be considered double dipping.

Its a whole bunch of hokum! The idiots are just trying to screw the whole system.
