Small
Employers Flocking to Health Reimbursement Arrangements
(Jan 12, 2009) - As

employees for the cost of their health insurance and other out-of-pocket medical
expenses. Because individual health insurance is much less expensive
than group coverage, this can save an employer thousands of dollars a year.
HSA for America has just released two special reports explaining who qualifies,
how much money you can save, and how to get an HRA established.
