If the Trump administration focuses on Health Savings Accounts as it has promised to do, the already very popular HSAs are about to get a lot hotter. This means more individuals will open HSAs and current HSA owners will contribute much more money. Maybe even more significant is how much more HSA owners will value their HSAs because of all the new HSA features and benefits. Get ready for what's next concerning HSAs.

Anticipated improvements to Health Savings Accounts include contribution limits, increasing the number of people eligible for HSAs, and expanding qualified medical expenses to include gym memberships, over-the-counter drugs, health insurance and more. Trump's appointment for Secretary of Health and Human Services, Tom Price, introduced legislation that provided for nineteen specific and significant improvements to HSAs. Other Republican leaders have also introduced favorable HSA legislation that may become law under a new administration. Attend the webinar to learn about the nineteen specific changes Tom Price supports as well as other HSA changes that are now likely to become law.

These changes will almost certainly have a dramatic impact on HSAs and your operation. Be prepared in 2017.
