Health savings accounts are similar to medical savings account (MSA) plans that were authorized by the federal government before HSA plans. HSAs can be used with some high-deductible health plans. HSAs came into being after legislation was signed by George W. Bush on December 8, 2003.
The videocassette recorder, VCR, or video recorder is an electromechanical device that records analog audio and analog video from broadcast television or other source on a removable, magnetic tape videocassette, and can play back the recording.
Here was a device that would let people record programs, watch them when they felt like it as opposed to when the programming staff decided they should, and (scariest of all) skip through the commercials! But the television industry survived despite the widespread popularity of VCRs. Now the dreaded VCR is in its death throes and a more modern innovation has come along that makes recording television programs even easier: the digital video recorder, or DVR.
