Replace health insurance with health savings accounts?
- hexis 10y agoAs it's currently structured, HSA's are usually a part of a health insurance plan with high deductibles. It's not an either/or thing, it's a both/and thing.
- riskable 10y agoWhat's funny about this is that health savings accounts are really just a discount program based on your tax bracket. The higher your tax bracket the bigger the discount. So in other words, the richer you are the more you'll save with a health savings account. So if Trump pulls off his "huge tax cuts" he'll be undermining his plan for health savings accounts. Classic Trump cognitive dissonance.

And when the rates are reduced so there's a lower incentive to use the accounts, it still can be saved/invested and grow tax-free and gains can even be spent tax free if used on qualified medical expenses. That's the bigger incentive IMO.
