Can I pay for Lasik surgery through a Health Savings Account (HSA)?
Gman asked:
I’ve got a health savings account where I can contribute up to $5,000 tax free. Can I use this money for Lasik surgery even though this is considered “cosmetic” surgery?

Can someone please explain to me, like I am a 5 year old, what the Health Savings Account does?
stef asked:
I’m looking into it for my parents in law. They pay $800 monthly for health insurance. They don’t have this kind of money since their income is only about $1,800 per month. Can they get a HSA instead of keeping their current insurance, or do they have to keep the current insurance in order to qualify for the HSA? What’s the deal?
No explain it to me as if I’m a 5 year old.
