Health Savings Accounts (HSA's)

[Brighteyes]

Just wanted to alert people to the existence of Health Savings Accounts (HSA's). If you're a member of this site, chances are you have a ton of health care expenses. HSA's may be a way for you to get substantial tax breaks (US only) on your out-of-pocket expenses. In short, HSA's allow individuals and families with high deductible health plans ($1,200 for individuals, $2,400 for families in 2010) to deduct dollar-for-dollar for out-of-pocket health care expenses up to the maximum contribution amount ($3,050 for individuals, $6,150 for families in 2010). This amount does not include your insurance premium which is 1/2 deductible already. In addition, persons at least 55 years of age get additional deductions.

It is ridiculous that IPL and things like accutane (etc.) are considered cosmetic.

Well shoot, having your leg amputated or your shoulder operated on should be cosmetic too. Haha
