Long-term care insurance premiums and expenses do qualify. A complete list of qualified expenses may be found in the IRS publication 502. http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p502.pdf.

Yes – You own and you control the money in your HSA. Decisions on how to spend the money are made by you without relying on a third party or a health insurer. You will also decide what types of investments to make with the money in the account in order to make it grow.
