As of 2008 — the most recent year for which data are available — adults aged 18-64 most commonly had traditional healthcare plans (68%), while 14% had traditional plans with a flexible spending account (FSA) for medical expenses, 12% had a high deductible health plan (HDHP), 5% have a high deductible plan with a health savings account (CDHP), and 2% have a high deductible plan with an FSA, according to the National Center for Health Statistics. Those with a traditional plan only or a high deductible plan only were the least likely to see medical professionals in the prior year. [Healthcare/Medical, Insurance]
