Unintended consequences
Article Abstract:
The medical savings account (MSA) is a new type of health insurance which is affordable and specially suited for low-income families who previously had to live without health insurance. A part of the policy payments for the MSA go into a savings account and the account earns interest. MSAs provide for tax-free build of money in the account, tax-free payment of medical bills from the account and tax-free use of the money for whatever purpose after age sixty-five.
