Health savings accounts are considered a smart financial move for employees who want to--and are able to--put aside money for health care expenses or save and invest money to pay for future health care costs in retirement.

Some say HDHPs haven't fulfilled their promise of making employees savvy consumers of health care while saving employers money. And yet that doesn't detract from the benefits an HSA can offer an employee, including portability from employer to employer, and the oft-mentioned "triple tax advantage" of HSAs.
