Health Savings Accounts - Take Charge of Your Healthcare!

uDirect IRA Services President Kaaren Hall interviews H.S.A. expert Kevin Carlin. Kevin has 20 years of experience in the employee benefits/group health industry in Southern California. In his career he has worked for several leading insurance companies, like United HealthCare, Lincoln National, and TakeCare Health Plan, and he has developed a strong reputation for being a leading advocate of Health Savings Accounts, or HSA's. These triple tax advantaged plans are growing in popularity and allow people to save money for future medical expenses. There is no other financial vehicle more tax advantaged than an HSA. Issues we discuss: 1) What impact will healthcare reform have on HSA's? 2) Why HSA's? Why now? 3) Hurdles/challenges to implementing an HSA/consumer directed strategy at a small business or large corporation; 4) Misinformation about HSA's 5) Anecdotal evidence/compelling stories about companies that have implemented HSA's 6) Healthcare reform in general
