Excellent summary, Bogdan! Mr. Quinn is right, it's certainly no panacea for the health insurance challenges many face, but it can be a great tool. I'm 71 and still have a nice HSA balance that I dip into frequently for the infrequent OOP costs I face with traditional Medicare (like hearing aids, dental, etc.). I invested my HSA as Bogdan suggests, and it paid off pretty well. The triple tax advantaged attribute makes it the best tax shelter going. I guess, like many things in life, HDHPs/HSAs work best for those with enough resources to weather the occasional rough seas. Have that Emergency Fund, folks!!

Thank you for the article! Can you please expand on the "Roth IRA play" you reference? Are conversions also pro-rata? TIA
