In reply to the discussion: We've just been royally screwed by my husband's employer and health insurance co. [View all]No Vested Interest
(5,166 posts)31. Suze Orman recommends Health Savings Accounts very highly, for
some of the reasons already mentioned on this thread.
I respect her advice & opinions.

IIRC, Suze Orman recommends funding the HSA fully at the beginning of the year, if possible.

Suze Orman is a right wing corporate mouthpiece. I have zero respect for Suze Orman.
