A year ago I looked at getting an HSA to replace my regular private health insurance with BCBS. My BCBS premiums have gone up about 1000% over the last 7.5 years! Recently, I started looking at HSAs again. Last year there were few choices when it came to getting an HSA account. Most were offered by a few banks with various fees and just a money market fund. A very few other banks had the option of some mutual funds, but also various fees. By the way, I already know about this one:

An HSA account is little different from an IRA account, yet although many companies (Charles Schwab, Fidelity, TD Ameritrade, etc.) offer IRA accounts with very reasonable, or no, fees, I can't find any of them that offer HSA accounts. Why is that? Am I missing something?
