A report from the J.P. Morgan Treasury Service shows how HSAs have become a vital part of helping Americans save and pay for medical expenses. The report includes the J.P. Morgan HSA Program Snapshot which details the saving, spending and investing patterns and trends among 700,000 HSA account holders in 2010.
