You can set aside pre-tax dollars using an HSA (Health Savings Account. But this has some gotchas that require advanced planning, http://www.ustreas.gov/offices/public-affairs/hsa/.

HSA's are a step towards reform and are used by millions of people, but Congress is working to eliminate them:

HSAs are awesome if you are eligible. But, if you don't have a high deductible plan, you're not eligible. So this doesn't benefit people with lower deductibles from their employer who might still benefit from going to a doctor with a plan like this.
