Many of the available consumer-driven healthcare plans (whether they are spending-account or tiered-model plans) are now categorized as high-deductible health plans. These plans are currently the fastest growing plan options on the market, growing over 25% in the past decade.

Explain these items in a 200-word peer-reviewed source supported analysis (vs. posting opinions). Remember to use in-text citations in your post.
