That cap will decimate Orthodontist, I heard of one that sold his practice, I am wondering if it was in anticipation of this. It also effects the parents of special needs kids and not in a good way, they are livid...

The 2500 dollars doesn’t cover my kids’ orthodontia for the year. But the stuff is in their mouths already.

Interesting and probably somewhat true but really I don't see it. Instead of saving $5K tax free you save $2500 tax free (a spouse can also do $2500 into the FSA is spouse also works). I wouldn't forgo braces for my kid because I was taxed on $2500 bucks.

But as a parent of a special needs 6 year old, yes, this would suck but my wife works so we're okay. Unless of course you have an HSA plan in which case you can not have a healthcare FSA. It's all a shell game.
