Our panel of experts have their own views on who are going to be the big players in this arena. They also have some suggestions on what is working in convincing consumers to purchase and use HSAs. They have been speaking to consumers, HSA providers and others linked into CDHC. Their thoughts and ideas have proved to be very precise in the past and they are gathering data for a major year end presentation. The panelists will also provide a rundown on the newest product offerings and strategies by the nation's leading HSA insurers and custodians. The webseminar will also focus on the public and private backstage happenings as well as an up-to-the minute forecast of the soaring rate of HSA adoptions featuring some of the nation’s largest companies as well as a look forward as to what will happen in 2006.
