AHIP: Center for Policy and Research - January 2008 Study shows 6.1 million people covered by HSA/High-Deductible Health Plans

An annual census by America's Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) of U.S. health insurance carriers shows that the number of people covered by health savings account/high-deductible health plans (HSA/HDHPs) totaled 6.1 million in January 2008. As in previous years, AHIP received participation from virtually all private health insurance carriers in the HSA/HDHP market for this census. This census does not include coverage associated with health reimbursement arrangements (HRAs), which are most commonly offered in the large-group market.
