AHIP Finds More Than A Million Have HSAs

A study by the America's Health Insurance Plans shows that more than a million people are opting for health saving accounts in conjunction with a high deductible health insurance plan.

Advocates of HSAs promise cheaper, better-quality health care. High-deductible health plans mark just the beginning in a change to a consumer-driven health care economy.

Regina Herzlinger, a professor at Harvard Business School, says HSAs will do for health care benefits what 401(k) plans did for pension plans in the 1980s.
