To have a Health Savings Account (HSA), you must be enrolled in the High Deductible Health Plan. You can elect an annual contribution which will be deducted on a pre-tax basis from each of your paychecks in equal amounts.

There’s also nothing about it in the most well-known books about the history of Kent State “Years of Youth” by Phillip R. Schriver and “A Most Noble Enterprise: The Story of 5X 1910-2010” by William H. Hildebrand. ...
