Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) are tax-exempt accounts where funds grow to pay for medical expenses.  Partnered with a High Deductible Health care plan they create an alternative to traditional health insurance.   HSAs allow you to pay for current health expenses and save for future qualified medical expenses on a tax-free basis.  You must be covered by a High deductible Health Plan (HDHP) to be able to take advantage of a Health Savings Account.  A HDHP generally costs less than what traditional health care coverage costs, so the money you save on insurance can therefore be put into the Health Savings Account.

You own and you control the money in your HSA.  Decisions on how to spend the money are made by you without relying on a third party or health insurer.
