'Tis the season to celebrate the power of the HSA to stretch dollars further and put money in pockets. Enjoy this lighthearted poem penned by a clever purple elf.
How out-of-pocket costs STOLE The holidays
Every Health Saver
Down in Purpleville
Liked the holidays a lot...
But Out-of-Pocket Costs
Who lived just north of Purpleville
Did NOT
Out-of-Pocket Costs hated the holidays! The whole holiday time!
The reasons aren't clear, and they're hard to make rhyme
It could be that Out-of-Pocket Costs just didn't like presents
It could be, maybe, perhaps, that he liked convalescence
But I think that it's just deep in his core
Out-of-pocket Costs liked making the Health Savers poor
So Out-of-Pocket Costs put together a plan
An awful, terrible trashcan sort of plan.
"I know just what I'll do!" he said, slimy and snakey,
I'll make all the Health Savers in Purpleville achy.
I'll sprain their ankles, and scuff up their knees,
Make them sneeze and wheeze - full of disease!!"
So Out-of-Pocket Costs did his mean, frightful trick
And Health Savers in Purpleville began to get sick
One by one they went to the doctor for help
Some were in pain, some let out a yelp!
"Now they'll spend all their money!" Out-of-Pocket Costs did sneer,
"They'll be totally broke! No gifts or toys to exchange this year!"
Then, Out-of-Pocket Costs went up to his tower
Waited day after day, hour after hour
He waited for bankruptcy, waited for them to cower
For Health Savers to spend their very last dollar
But it never happened, it never passed
Instead, he saw something that made him aghast
The Health Savers in Purpleville had an HSA!
A Health Savings Account they could use to pay
For any illness or sickness that would come their way
And the Health Savers in Purpleville used their safety net
To keep the Holidays going-they never had to fret
Out-of-Pocket Costs got conquered, a victory rather stealth
Their HealthEquity HSA had connected health and wealth
