A win for employees
HSAs add value:
• Employee HSA deposits are not taxed and reduce the taxable income of users
• HSA withdrawals used for qualified health care expenses are not taxed
• HSA deposits earn tax-free interest
• HSA funds are FDIC-insured
• HSA funds can be used post-retirement (after age 65) for medical and non-medical expenses without penalty, much like an IRA

Medicare, a traditional health plan, or even an FSA) may disqualify them from the HSA
