In his Jan. 31 State of the Union address, President Bush proposed a plan that would build on the success of health savings accounts by boosting the maximum contribution amount, offering tax credits to individuals who purchase high-deductible health plans on their own, and improving the portability of HSA-based health coverage. What are the details of these wide-ranging initiatives likely to be, and how should you position your organization in the event that they are enacted and implemented soon?
