Increasing popularity of high deductible health plans

The most recent National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) from the Center for Disease Control finds that now 22.7% of the under-65 population is in "high deductible" health plans. This is up from 19.4% just one year ago. This includes 6.4% of the population with a Health Savings Account, up from 5.2% last year. It does not separate out HRAs from other people with stand-alone high deductible plans. The report also mentions that fully one-half of the individual market now has high deductible health coverage.
