Top Medical Stocks To Buy For 2019

One of my friends asked me this question the other day. Here’s what she said:

Nancy, I am in sales, so keeping up my appearance is important to career success. Since I turned 50, I’ve started seeing an esthetician and am getting botox injections for deep wrinkles and specialized skin care procedures. My skin looks fantastic. People tell me I look 10 years younger.  

Since these are medical procedures, can I use my HSA to pay for them?

The short answer is no. Health Savings Accounts have some pretty amazing tax benefits, so the I.R.S. has strict guidelines about HSA funds being used for “medically necessary,” rather than cosmetic, procedures.
