http://www.iom.edu/Reports/2013/US-Health-in-International-Pers
The United States is among the wealthiest nations in the world, but it is
far from the healthiest. For many years, Americans have been dying at

health disadvantage prevails even though the U.S. spends far more per person
on health care than any other nation. To gain a better understanding of... 阅读全帖 |

WASHINGTON (AP) — Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki apologized in
public and then resigned in the privacy of the White House on Friday, driven
from office by a mushrooming scandal over the agency's health care system
that serves millions of the nation's former warriors.
President Barack Obama said he accepted the resignation "with considerable
regret," and appointed Sloan Gibson, the agency's No. 2 official, as

发帖数: 1328 | 43 有谁对Health Savings Account比较了解么？
我看了一下它的介绍，感觉还不错啊。下面是我的理解：
每人每年能往里面放一些pre-tax的钱。这些钱可以拿来投资。这个有点儿象IRA。这个
钱直接取出来当然要交税+罚款，但拿来做医疗用途（看病，支付医疗保险，买药）就不
用交税。考虑到老了以后花费的大头是医疗，那么存Health Savings Account的优先级
应该高于IRA啊。
当然，一些特定的医疗保险计划才能存Health Savings Account，而且Health Savings
Account投资的限制可能比IRA多。
我上面的理解对么？有很多银行/证卷商可以开Health Savings Account，推荐哪个？ |

标 题: health premium, health care spending account, .. 咋处理阿？
发信站: BBS 未名空间站 (Wed Apr 6 22:56:40 2011, 美东)
一直以为，自己出的health insurance premium是免税的，今天才发现这部分包括在W2
的Box1里了。大伙是怎么把它减掉的。
还有就是health care spending account 和 dependent care spending account里的
钱也应该是免税的，居然也被包括在W2的Box1里了。这两个该怎么去掉阿。刚试了试
turbotax，没有找到咋办，真是太笨了。各位高手是咋办的？ 先多谢了。 |

发帖数: 19262 | 46 我们的医疗保险是0 deductible的，有一定的copay，我们也开了health care FSA，这
种情况下还需要开health saving account吗？
据说这个health saving account永不过期，钱可以一直攒下去，公司也会match1000刀
，可以我在什么情况才可以使用这些钱呢？
说实话，我对这个health FSA和health saving account一直觉得很糊涂。 |

发帖数: 129 | 48 问一下 mass health essential. 跟 Mass health standard 差不多，cover:
Inpatient care, emergency, transportation, labs. etc.
Mass Health Standard 多了：
vision care, eyeglasses, adult day health,adult foster care
long-term-care services at home or in a long-term-care facility, including
home-health services. 这些暂时父母是不需要的。
目的是要 Cover 住院费和检查费。
