Health Savings Accounts have been gaining popularity with consumers ever since they started way back in 2004. Once you have a high-deductible health plan (HDHP) that is qualified to work with a Health Savings Account (HSA), you are eligible to open an HSA. HSA plans allow you to deposit tax-deductible funds into an HSA that you can use to cover qualified medical costs until your deductible has been met. If you were not able to use the contributions for that year, the money would be carried over to the next year and it would continue to grow with tax-free earnings.
HSA plans allow individuals to be more responsible when it comes to health care decisions.

Members of a nonprofit Minnesota group that maintains a collection of World War II-era planes are scrambling to find money for fire sprinklers for the hangar that houses the vintage exhibit.
Officials in South St. Paul have told the all-volunteer organization that it can no longer hold fundraisers in the hangar at Fleming Field or rent it out for events because the hangar lacks fire sprinklers, which could cost as much as $80,000.
The Minnesota Wing of the Commemorative Air Force has leased the hangar from the city since 1971.
Without the events, “it would be hard to pick up that kind of cash flow someplace else,” wing leader Amy Lauria told the St. Paul Pioneer Press. “Th

Health savings accounts are becoming the IRA of choice with escalating health care costs. These special accounts work with high-deductible health insurance plans to let you save with tax-free interest to pay for health care and take tax deductions for medical expenses.
Health savings accounts keep the tax-free interest IRA benefit and add tax deductions for contributions to the health savings account (HSA).
If you don’t need HSA funds for health care, you can save the money for when you retire. Funds in this type of savings account roll over year after year. Some financial experts recommend to contribute the maximum allowed to an HSA before starting an IRA or Roth because you can withdraw money tax-free from an HSA to pay for qualified health care.
