I have had a positive experience the past few years with my HSA. If I can save a fellow-DUer some bucks, then I will surely do so.

As to funding the account - if an HSA-holder pays ANY medical expenses, then those expenses can be routed through the HSA. That is all the funding amounts to. And those contributions could be made to the account as the payments are made (put the payment money in the account - pay the bill from the account - get a tax break for the amount of the contribution). I find it to be flexible and money-saving and not at all "republican" in its process. I am sorry you cannot qualify - but I understand. I truly feel sorry for those that have to make these tough decisions. There is not a stronger supporter of single-payer on this site. It is absolutely criminal that any of our citizens go without healthcare.
