Georgia Affordable HSA Eligible High Deductible Health Plan [05/07/2008] Gov. Sonny Purdue signed two bills that provide tax breaks to insurance companies and aim to help residents afford healthcare coverage by combining high-deductible health plans with health savings accounts. Under the new laws, insurers are not required to pay state insurance-premium taxes for the sale of high-deductible plans that have an HSA attached to them, and consumers who have such plans can deduct the amount they pay in premiums from their state income. Under the measure, an employer with 50 or fewer employees that offers a high-deductible health insurance plan linked to an HSA will receive a $250-a-year tax credit for each employee enrolled in the plan. To qualify for the credit, employers will have to spend at least $250 per employee annually on the coverage.
