SBE Council Says HSAs Must be Protected

The Small Business & Entrepreneurship Council (SBE Council) is highlighting the importance of health savings accounts (HSAs) in the health care marketplace, including for small businesses, and warned that ObamaCare could place these consumer-friendly health coverage options in peril.

SBE Council President & CEO Karen Kerrigan said, "The growing importance and popularity of HSAs were reinforced by the latest data offered from America's Health Insurance Plans (AHIP), which reported that over 10 million Americans were covered by HSA-high deductible health plan products in January 2010. That was a 25 percent jump from January 2009."
