Asset:HSA is your savings fund. The payment of money into that account is
exactly as you priginally proposed.

The 4 way split 
> Asset:Medical Reimbursable             $5 
> Liability:Credit Card                                     $5 
> Expenses:Medical                            $5 
> Asset:HSA                                                  $5

records 2 simultaneous events. It makes a bit more sense when you consider
the two events separately

Firstly your payment of the medical expense with your credit card
:
 Expenses:Medical                            $5 
 Liability:Credit Card                                     $5 

and the creation of an obligation to reimburse the expenditure to your bank
account from your HSA account:

Asset:Medical Reimbursable             $5                  this account
tracks what you have to reimburse to your bank account
Asset:HSA                                                  $5   

And when you actually reimbuse money

> Asset:Bank                                        $5 
> Asset:MedicalReimbursable                       $5

If the balance of Asset:MedicalReimbursable is not 0 then you have expenses
you have incurred but not reimbursed from the HSA.  This is exactly the same
as the way  Asset:Account Receivable works when you extend credit to a
customer in a business environment with the business features. In this case
the HSA is effectively the customer, who owes you money.
