Jan M. Ambrose and Ann Butler

Risk Management and Insurance Review, 1997, vol. 1, issue 1, 18-31

Abstract: Abstract: Numerous methods for helping consumers deal with medical care costs have been suggested. One way that has been discussed is the use of Medical Saving Accounts. A pilot program introducing Medical Spending Accounts was passed by Congress as part of the Health Insurance Reform Act of 1996. The authors review the major points of this program and attempt to examine what impact this program could have on medical care cost.
