ʻAʻole ia he kiko e noʻonoʻo i nā huahana menstrual i kahi pono olakino. ʻO ka mea hope loa, mālama ʻia lākou e like me ka mea ma lalo o ke alakaʻi pekelala HSA a me FSA. Mahalo i ka pōʻai hoʻolimalima coronavirus hou ma US, hiki i nā huahana menstrual ke kūʻai aku no kēlā me kēia ʻano waihona waihona.

ʻO ka loli kahi ʻāpana o ke kānāwai Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES), a ka Pelekikena Donald Trump i kau inoa ai i kānāwai ma Malaki 27 hoʻolālā hoʻolālā (FSA). Hiki i nā kānaka ke hoʻohana i ke kālā mai kēlā me kēia ʻano kālā e kūʻai i nā huahana menstrual. Hoʻohālikelike ka pila i kahi huahana menstrual e like me "tampon, pad, liner, cup, spons, a huahana like paha i hoʻohana ʻia e nā poʻe e pili ana i ka menstruation a i nā mea huna o ka genital-tract." Na ka CARES Act no ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā lāʻau lapaʻau ʻole i kauoha ʻia, no laila hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻohana i nā kālā HSA/FSA no nā lapaʻau OTC no nā hōʻailona wā. (E pili pū ana: Na nā mea nāna i hoʻokumu i nā kīʻaha Saalt Menstrual e hoʻoikaika iā ʻoe e pili ana i ka mālama mālama ʻana, hiki ke loaʻa)

No laila, pehea e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke hoʻohana pono? Inā loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi waihona FSA a i ʻole HSA, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻohana i ke kāleka hōʻaiʻē i hoʻopili ʻia i kāu moʻokāki (a i ʻole e hoʻouna i nā loaʻa no ka uku hou ʻana, e hilinaʻi ana i kāu hoʻolālā) i ka wā e waihona ana. Hōʻano hou: ʻO ka HSA kahi waihona mālama kālā ma mua o ka ʻauhau hiki iā ʻoe ke wehe ma o ka pūʻolo pōmaikaʻi o kāu mea hana a i ʻole ma o kahi mea kūʻai aku a panakō paha. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻohana i ke kālā mai ka waihona e uku no ke koina e pili ana i nā lilo e pili ana i ke olakino e like me nā copay a me nā kuhikuhi (a i kēia manawa, mahalo i ke Kanawai ʻo CARES, nā huahana menstrual). Kūlike like nā FSA, akā ʻaʻole ʻolokaʻa ʻia nā kālā i kēlā me kēia makahiki a pono lākou e hoʻonohonoho ʻia ma o ka pūʻulu pono o nā limahana. (Pili: 5 mau lawe nui mai ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni ʻo Oscar-Winning "Wā. Pau o ka ʻōlelo hoʻopaʻi.")

He nūhou maikaʻi kēia no kēlā me kēia ʻano waihona waihona. Akā i ka wā e pili ana i ka ʻauhau kūʻai, e ʻohiʻohi mau ana nā mokuʻāina he 30 i ka mea i kapa ʻia he "ʻauhau tampon" ma nā huahana menstrual. Ua lilo ʻo Wakinekona i mokuʻāina hou loa e hoʻopau i ka ʻauhau kūʻai ma nā huahana menstrual i ka wā i kau inoa ai ke kiaʻāina ʻo Jay Inslee i kahi bila hou i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ʻApelila. ʻO nā hui e like me Period Equity a me PERIOD e hakakā nei no ka hoʻopau ʻana i ka ʻauhau tampon ma nā mokuʻāina he 50 āpau, me ka ʻōlelo he pono nā huahana menstrual ʻaʻole pono kahi waiwai. (E nānā: No ke aha e nānā nui ai kēlā me kēia kanaka me nā wā i kēia manawa?)

Ma kahi e kū ai kou moku'āina i ka ʻauhau manawa i kēia manawa, aia nō ia i ke kānāwai CARES. Inā loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi FSA a i ʻole HSA, ʻo kēia kahi pōmaikaʻi āu e makemake ai e hoʻohana, no ka mea ke hoʻonui nei ke kumukūʻai o ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi manawa i ka manawa.
