Abstract
Dismissed as a luxury only for the young or wealthy, medical savings a ccounts could be used by a majority of Americans - who are neither poo r or chronically ill - to make cost-conscious choices about their heal th care. Current federal tax laws and insurers' inability to sell cata strophic group coverage policies pose obstacles to their widespread us e and should be removed.
