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.
Use of a VCR to record a television program to play back at a more convenient time is commonly referred to as timeshifting. VCRs can also play back prerecorded tapes. In the 1980s and 1990s, prerecorded videotapes were widely available for purchase and rental, and blank tapes were sold to make recordings.
