This is from the National Center for Health Statistics:
In 2007, 17.3% of persons under 65 years of age with private health insurance were enrolled in a high-deductible health plan (HDHP), 4.5% were enrolled in consumer-directed health plans (CDHPs), and 14.8% were in a family with a flexible spending account (FSA) for medical expenses.
