摘要

According to the u.s. census bureau 45 million people in the U.S. did not have health insurance last year. No reason to expect the number has shrunk. Health insurance is getting ever more expensive—up 59% since 2000, says the Kaiser Family Foundation. The government thinks it has a way to mitigate the upward pressure on medical costs: Make patients more cost conscious by goading them into high-deductible insurance policies. To this end, this year it created Health Savings Accounts. You put tax-deductible money into an HSA, same as you would into an IRA. The HSA is coupled with a health insurance policy with a high deductible—and the amount you can put into the account is exactly equal to the deductible on the insurance, up to a limit. You can take money out of the HSA to cover hospital, doctor, dentist, orthodontist, pharmacy, lab and optician bills. You pay these costs with checks drawn on the HSA. Some account managers offer debit cards for HSA payments.
