Maybe you already know....stay aware of changes to how much income you can put into the Health Savings Account now, due to more portions of the new healthcare law going into effect:

As of January 2013, you will only be able to save $2,500 pre-tax through your HSA, down from $5,000 now. Also, medical expenses must be at least 10% of income before you can deduct the amount over the limit. You can deduct medical expenses above 7.5% of income now.
