Your contributions (up to $5,800 for families in 2008) are tax deductible and you pay no tax on withdrawals for qualified medical expenses.

Second, your HSA funds are completely portable and roll over from year to year -- even if you change jobs, take a job that doesn't offer insurance, start your own business or reti
