These US healthcare systems are effectively scams. Yes in theory they can save you money, however in theory there is no difference between theory and practice, while in practice there is.

If you follow the intentionally onerous rules, you might get to spend some of your own money on healthcare without being taxed.

Ask yourself why you had to jump through those hoops in the first place.

These are policies created by bad people to rip off ordinary Americans. Making healthcare appear affordable also deflects calls for universal healthcare like they have in every other developed country.

Basically HSAs are a scam put out by health insurance lobbyists.
