Great article. HSA’s are so underused. After talking to so many colleagues who have access to an HSA, NOT ONE of them uses it. That’s right I have not met one another person who uses an HSA. Very strange because, like you said, for young and healthy people it provides such a huge benefit. Big tax savings now and in the future. And you can let it grow like an investment.

I know it’s just a bill, but being able to contribute more to an HSA sounds good to me!

I’ve been contributing the max to my HSA. HSA’s have awesome benefits as you mentioned above.

There is no reason not to have an HSA and invest for the long haul.

Thanks for sharing Chonce :)

I think HSAs are a no-brainer, assuming you can put aside the cash, and not to mention the fact so many are impacted by high health care costs. As you said, the tax benefits are just too good to not take advantage of. We max ours out every year and plan on continuing to do so each year. If they’re able to get it done, I’m definitely in favor of expanding their availability.

I love the idea of opening HSAs up to people without high deductible health plans. My husband’s new employer does not offer high deductible plans–despite the fact that new grads are the biggest demographic of employees–and so we can’t keep contributing to our HSA which we had through his last employer’s insurance.
