"Thank you! I felt so alone on my
HSA until I discovered your newsletter.
It is packed with great info. I print
them out to keep them as a reference.
I
have used your suggestion about on line ordering
drugs, the web site you suggested was a great
savings. I haven't required any lab tests
yet, but I do plan to try the labs you suggest
at some point. As HSA's continue to grow,
we may get deeper discounts merely because of
our numbers."

"My husband and I are both self-employed
and more often than not we've looked for ways
to maximize our tax savings. We don't
often get sick and so we've wasted thousands
of dollars paying high monthly health insurance
premiums. Finding out about the Health
Savings Account couldn't have come any sooner.
It was the perfect match for us. After
setting up our HSA we found that the resources
out there were minimal. We knew all about
the potential savings of having an HSA but no
one ever explained the rules until HSA
for America.
In
February 2006 I read about HSA
for America and your newsletter
Maximize Your HSA, and my husband and
I decided we should subscribe. Our first
newsletter was received in February and we received
a wealth of information about how to maximize
our HSA. We were thrilled to find a resource
that not only educated us, at no cost, but also
pointed us towards useful resources.
For many years we've done our eye exams at the
very same office and never thought to question
the cost or even to shop around. Thanks
to HSA for America
we did some comparison shopping and found a
specialist that did the very same eye test for
51% less than what we had paid in past years.
We've also become more proactively involved
in how our healthcare dollars gets spent and
have thus realized a higher level of healthcare.
Thank
you,"
