A health cash plan is used primarily by individuals who would like to "plan" or budget their medical expenses. Health cash plans may be used for a myriad of medical issues, which include vision, and dental issues. The individual(s) covered by the health cash plan need merely to provide receipts to show that they have spent funds for medical, dental or vision purposes. In order to qualify for a health cash plan (sometimes called health savings account or HSA) the individual(s) must have what is considered to be a high deductible health plan. So in essence a health savings account works in two parts: The savings account in which the individual(s) periodically deposit moneys into. There is typically no minimum amount that must be deposited to the savings account. The funds that are added to the account are added on a tax-free basis. The individual(s) then go to the doctor, dentist and currently (through 2010) purchase medications on an as need basis. Upon rendering funds for "medical" services, the individual presents receipts as proof of the medical use and payment and is then reimbursed from the cash that he/she has deposited into the HSA. The individual may then count his or her medical expense as tax deductible (by only the amount of funds utilized from the HSA). The second part to a health cash plan is (as mentioned previously) the "high deductible health plan". In short, the individual(s) must have an associated health plan with a deductible of at least $1,200. So that readers are not confused, I'd like to show an example. An individual (with a high deductible health plan) has a HSA account which he or she deposits $200 per month into for 10 months (or a total $1,000). The same individual has paid out of pocket medical expenses for glasses, prescriptions and other medical issues (such as doctor visits) totaling $1,000 for the year. The individual would simply submit receipts as proof of moneys used for medical expenses and thus be reimbursed from the funds in his or her HSA account. Then the individual may count the $1,000 as tax deductible (again, only by the amount of funds taken from the HSA account).
It is important to note the benefits and shortcomings of an HSA. Health cash plans require an individual to not only pay for his medical expenses upfront but also budget so that he or she is able to add funds to his cash account as well. This type of plan requires more management for the individual and for that reason it is not ideal for all. However, for some individuals it is a perfect plan. For the individual who does manage well and does have money to fund his or her cash account as well as money to pay the upfront "high deductible"
chanel sunglasses outlet, it can be beneficial from a tax perspective. However, we all know that "life happens". Individuals are able to access the funds in their cash account at any time regardless of medical reasons. If the account holder accesses funds due to "life happening" for a non medical reason, the individual will be taxed on these funds at penalties similar to those applied when an individual prematurely withdraws funds from an IRA .
Finally

Starting in 1972, Jackson released a total of four solo studio albums with Motown, among them Got to Be There and Ben, released as part of the Jackson 5 franchise, and producing successful singles such as "Got to Be There", "Ben"
RayBan Sunglasses, and a remake of Bobby Day's "Rockin' Robin". The group's sales began declining in 1973, and the band members chafed under Motown's strict refusal to allow them creative control or input. Although they scored several top 40 hits, including the top 5 disco single "Dancing Machine" and the top 20 hit "I Am Love", the Jackson 5 left Motown in 1975.
The Jackson 5 signed a new contract with CBS Records in June 1975, joining the Philadelphia International Records division, later Epic Records, and renaming themselves The Jacksons. They continued to tour internationally, releasing six more albums between 1976 and 1984, during which Jackson was the lead songwriter, writing hits such as "Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground)", "This Place Hotel," and "Can You Feel It".
In 1978, he starred as the scarecrow in the musical, The Wiz, and it was here that he teamed up with Quincy Jones, who was arranging the film's musical score. Jones agreed to produce Jackson's next solo album, Off the Wall. In 1979, Jackson broke his nose during a complex dance routine. His subsequent rhinoplasty was not a complete success; he complained of breathing difficulties that would affect his career. He was referred to Dr. Steven Hoefflin, who performed Jackson's second rhinoplasty and subsequent operationsJones and Jackson produced Off the Wall together. Songwriters included Jackson, Heatwave's Rod Temperton, Stevie Wonder, and Paul McCartney. Released in 1979, it was the first album to generate four U.S. top 10 hits, including the chart-topping singles "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" and "Rock with You It reached number three on the Billboard 200 and eventually sold over 20 million copies worldwide In 1980, Jackson won three awards at the American Music Awards for his solo efforts: Favorite Soul/R&B Album, Favorite Male Soul/R&B Artist, and Favorite Soul/R&B Single for "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough". That year, he also won Billboard Music Awards for Top Black Artist and Top Black Album and a Grammy Award for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance, also for "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough". Despite its commercial success, Jackson felt Off the Wall should have made a much bigger impact, and was determined to exceed expectations with his next release. In 1980, he secured the highest royalty rate in the music industry: 37 percent of wholesale album profit.
