Sometimes on this blog we wander  into the various minutia of High Deductible Health Plans (HDHPs) and HSAs, and occasionally need to step back for folks who are just being introduced to these new concepts.  It is easy to get into the weeds but we all have to start somewhere.

Unlike the typical boring, snoring, coma inducing videos on the benefits of HSAs which can tell you everything you need to know about HSAs, provided you can listen and learn while sleeping, below is a quick introduction to HSAs from the folks at HSAeducator.com.  

If you want to learn more, surf around HSAeducator.com.  It is written for normal people who, while likely sleep deprived, can not afford to sleep when they're proactively trying to take control of their family's health.  HDHPs and Health Savings Accounts are a great consumer driven healthcare tool; from a tax perspective, a savings perspective, and from a health perspective to take control of your healthcare.   If, on the other hand, you need some sleep, Google the "IRS" and dig into any of the multitude of "tax publications"  they offer up.  Sleep is almost guaranteed.
