Book excerpt: In 1996, Congress authorized a four-year demonstration program for medical savings accounts, tax-favored trusts used in connection with high-deductible health insurance plans to pay medical expenses. The first phase of a GAO-contracted study of medical savings accounts shows that although the insurance industry responded rapidly in creating qualified medical savings account plans, consumer demand has been lower than expected. Lower demand reflects, in part, the complexity of the medical savings account product for both agents and consumers. Insurers report that product sales have been increasing over time.

Book excerpt: Today's public policy environment is unlike that of 1993 and 1994, when interest centered on the pursuit of comprehensive health care reform. The President and the Congress are currently focused on ways to reform the health care system through incremental measures. Given concerns regarding rising health care costs and utilization, policymakers, employers, analysts, and the media are directing their attention to proposals that put more control in the hands of the consumer, in the hope that less money will be spent on health care. Medical savings accounts (MSAs) represent one such approach. MSAs can be viewed as savings accounts for uninsured medical expenses. They resemble flexible spending accounts (FSAs).1 In an MSA, employers and individuals are allowed to contribute to a savings account on a pre-tax basis and roll over the unused funds at the end of the year. At year end, any FSA contributions that have not been spent are forfeited by the individual. A primary difference between an FSA and the proposed MSAs is the absence of the FSA "use-it-or-lose-it" provision in MSAs. In addition, most MSA proposals would allow unused balances and earnings to accumulate on a pre-tax basis or be paid to the account balance holder in taxable cash. However, unlike FSAs, most MSA proposals incorporate a move to high deductible, or catastrophic, health insurance and, if broadly used, would fundamentally change the way in which health care is financed.
