People with health problems may be having better luck at keeping their health account assets.
Researchers at the Employee Benefit Research Institute, Washington, have published statistics hinting at that conclusion in a summary of results from a recent Web-based survey of 4,532 privately insured U.S. residents ages 21 to 64.
The researchers compared the results with results from similar surveys conducted in 2006 and 2007.
The researchers found that 9.8 million U.S. adults either have a health account plan or are eligible to open a health savings account.
