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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Let’s get the consumer in the game. The idea behind HSAs is a ‘supercharged IRA’ for health care...No other program is as tax advantaged.” –John W. Snow, Treasury Secretary “...HSAs can drastically lower an employer’s costs of providing employee health benefits. This may allow more small businesses to offer such benefits.” –Fed Brock, The New York Times “These accounts give workers the security of insurance against major illness, the opportunity to save tax-free for routine health expenses, and the freedom of knowing you can take your account with you whenever you change jobs.” –President George W. Bush “Laing’s new book (The Small Business Guide to HSAs) lives up to its name...an excellent explanation of how HSAs work...” –Greg Scandlen, The New York Post The Consumer’s Guide to HSAs answers the question “What’s in it for Me?” But responsibility doesn’t stop there. You must read your medical reports, check statements, and count your pills carefully. Ask questions. Keep records for future use, and soon you will realize as much of the benefits of consumer-driven health care and HSAs as possible.
