The Problems
In attempting to provide health care benefits, individuals face several problems:
| Cost | Due to the high cost of traditional health insurance coverage, it is difficult (if not impossible) for many people to purchase adequate health insurance protection at an affordable cost. Without this protection, however, the financial impact of a serious injury or illness can be devastating! |
| Choice | While managed care has produced cost savings, people enrolled in managed care plans generally find their choice of doctors restricted. There is
also increasing concern about the interference of bureaucracies in the doctor-patient relationship. |
| Control | Individuals who need little or no health care receive no financial reward under traditional or managed care plans, nor is there any financial incentive under these plans for individuals to exercise control over their health care expenditures. |
A Potential Health Savings Account Solution
By combining tax-advantaged personal savings with a high-deductible health insurance plan, the Health SavingsAccount (HSA) puts you in control of your own health care dollars, while protecting you and your family against
the cost of a serious illness or injury:
| Cost | High-deductible health insurance is more affordable, while
still protecting individuals and their families against the
costs of serious illness or injury. Personal savings
accumulated in an HSA can be used to pay smaller
expenses covering routine services until the health plan's
deductible is met. NOTE: If there are not sufficient
funds in the HSA to cover the entire deductible, you must
pay the difference out of pocket. |
| Choice | Tax-free HSA funds can be used to see any doctor, enter
any hospital or pay any qualified medical expense, even
those not covered under the high-deductible health plan.
These decisions belong to you, not to a medical
bureaucracy. |
| Control | An HSA puts you in charge of how your health care dollars
are spent. If little or no health care is needed, the money
in the HSA accumulates tax-free until funds are
needed… even after retirement. In fact, subject to income
tax and, if under age 65 a penalty tax, HSA funds can be
withdrawn for any reason. With a Health Savings
Account, you control when and how your health care dollars are spent. |
