With that kind of expense, how are you supposed pay for all your health care
that isn't covered by your health insurance, save for retirement, pay for
college and weddings and maybe buy a brick of film ever so often? BB

Double ugh!!! $19,000 a year in premium. $5,000 deductible per person and
$20,000 family cap to be followed by 80/20 coverage. Is that under the
Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) or is this group insurance. Either way, a
blind man can see this isn't health care and needs some fixing. I don't know
their is anyone qualified to fix the mess. I'm aggravated that you have to put
up with this! BB

Bill,
Last year, I had the best company provided insurance program. It had a
5000 per person deductible with a 10000 family cap. This year, we went
to the mid-level policy which has 5000 per person with no family cap
(4x5000=20000 potential out of pocket). And even then, it's still
something like 80/20.
We are maxing out our HSA. That helps, but the federal limits on
contributions are STILL lower than the deductables. Grrrr.
The joys of working for a company based in Little Rock Arkansas. Our
health insurance is out of that state.
