Do you have a HSA (health savings account?)?
leahnc725 asked:
I have two small kids (age 18 months & 4 1/2) Its enrollment time again & we are being offered 3 plans. Two plans being offered are traditional health insurance (High or moderate coverage) and then new this year they added the HSA.

The tax benefits & putting money back in my own pocket is tempting – but Im fearful that over the first couple years I will not be able to contribute enough to meet that high deductible (if one of us gets sick & needs hospitalization/xrays/prescriptions)
What are your thoughts about the HSA?

Can I prepay my 2009 delivery expenses with my HSA now?
Julia asked:
I have an Health Savings account and will be using that to pay the deductible on my health insurance with our child being born. I am due in January and the OBGYN office would like us to start paying towards it now. They can’t tell me for sure and I haven’t been able to figure out so far if that is going to cause me any problems tax-wise paying expenses that have not been billed yet using my HSA. Can anyone help?
