AHIP Census Finds Giant Leap In HSA Participation

American health consumers are increasingly taking control of their health care dollars by signing up for Health Savings Accounts (HSAs). According to a January 2007 census by America’s Health Insurance Plans’ (AHIP) Center for Policy and Research, participation in HSAs, which were first made available in January 2004, has jumped to 4.5 million people – up 43 percent from last year.

Even more exciting, the AHIP report found that 27 percent of new HSA enrollees in the Individual market were previously uninsured. This statistic confirms that HSAs are not only transforming how Americans approach their health care, but also significantly reducing the number of people without health insurance coverage.
