Health Savings Accounts: Case Study
The United States has arguably the most advanced health care in
the world. And yet, a large proportion of Americans do not have
access to this care due to its high cost. Providers, consumers,
and the government have long searched for a way out of this
paradoxical situation. HSAs offer one solution.
The American health care system is complex. A part of the
population has access to health care through Medicare and
Medicaid. Another part simply pays for care out of pocket. A
substantial proportion of the population uses third-party payers
to pay for care.
Payers have reacted to the rising costs of care by introducing
various gatekeeper mechanisms. These have not been popular
with consumers who see them as restrictive. The American
population is aging and the need for care is likely to increase
over the next decade.
While the earnings of health care professionals have been
increasing, insurance premiums have also increased. Among
hospitals, many are non-profit organizations offering substantial
charity care. But for-profit and non-profit hospitals alike must
show return on investment to remain viable. Providers must also
factor reimbursement policies of payers into their decisions,
sometimes even clinical decisions. These groups of
stakeholders—patients, providers, payers, and the government—
have different goals and different responses to the rising cost of
care.
Based on your understanding, answer the following:
In your opinion, can HSAs be aligned to the expectations of all
these groups?
Do you think HSAs can help improve health care cost, quality,
and access? Why or why not?
