Health Savings Accounts can help employers and employees

Good article in the Journal Times out of Racine, Wisconsin that explains how HSAs can benefit employees and employers in a real common sense fashion.

Like many people, maybe you’ve read and heard about health savings accounts, but may still be asking: What exactly are they?

In a nutshell, they are an alternative to traditional health insurance plans that can offer certain tax advantages and the potential for added control over health care dollars and expenses. With a health savings account you can pay for current medical expenses, and save for future qualified and retiree health expenses, all on a tax-free basis.
