The latest enrollment figures for health insurance plans associated with HSAs by America's Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) are showing continued strong enrollment growth across the country.
Enrollment has grown over the last year by another 1.2 million, to a total of 4.5 million Americans covered by HSA-qualified plans as of January, 2007 (a 43 percent increase over enrollment as of January, 2006).
The strongest growth was in the large employer market where many people get their health insurance coverage. Almost 50 percent of the current enrollment in HSA-qualified plans is now in the large employer market. Enrollment in the small employer market also doubled from one year ago.
