HSA's are the latest ;consumer-driven; strategy for managing the rising costs of health care expenses. HSA's allow individuals and families who have qualified HDHP's to put aside money in a tax-exempt HSA account to cover their qualified medical expenses. Individuals who purchase or enroll in an HDHP can make a pre-tax annual contribution to an HSA of up to $2,600 with families allowed a maximum contribution of $5,150. Individual purchasers are not eligible for an HSA if they qualify for Medicare, are covered under another persons tax return or are covered as an individual, spouse or dependent under another comprehensive health plan that is not an HDHP.

The relationship between ARCUS Financial Services, JPMorgan and UNICARE will provide greater financial flexibility for individual consumers, employers, employees and their families to meet their increasing health and welfare needs in new, practical ways, said Denny Weinberg, CEO of ARCUS Enterprises. We value these types of joint development relationships that result in break-through ideas and productsideas that will lead and shape our business for years to come.

HSA advantages for consumers include:

*Tax-deductible contributions
*HSA account interest is tax-deferred
*HSA withdrawals can be used to pay for any qualified medical expense
*HSA's are portable and owned by the individual; contributions cannot be taken
away
*Unspent balances carry over and can accumulate over a lifetime to be used at
retirement to pay for uncovered medical expenses. (However, consumers may not
contribute once they reach age 65.)
*HSA's may be passed on to a surviving spouse tax free if the account holder
should pass away
