Health Insurance Choice with Flexible Spending Accounts

James Cardon

The Geneva Risk and Insurance Review, 2012, vol. 37, issue 2, 208-222

Abstract: I model the interaction of flexible spending accounts (FSAs) and conventional insurance. I show that FSA participation reduces the desired level of insurance coverage. I also show that FSA participation can reduce the total tax cost of health insurance premium and FSA contribution exclusions.
