So, for that three year scenario my savings were $9,600 not $5,700.

I don't want a Florida Health Exchange.
How come you don't understand, I like what I have.
I don't want to pay an additional $5,004 for something
not as good as I have.
I don't understand how a plan with an annual deductible of $10K is a
"good" plan, regardless of who offers it.
Easy answer, because the premium is so much less.
But you need to be adult enough to bank the money saved on the premium.
Let's say I average $3,000 per year in medical expenses, In 3 years,
I spent $9,000 from my HSA. The HSA is tax deductible, so I saved $1,800
on my tax bill (just for that $9,000). This makes my real cost of
medical expenses $7,200 for those three years. With this new* policy I
saved $4,300 per year, that's $12,900. So in three years I save $12,900
- $7,200 =
$5,700. I saved $5,700 for those three years, plus I have about $9,750
left in the HSA growing tax free. The $9,750 is my money not money held
in the insurance companies pocket.
This only works for adults that have learned not to live paycheck to
paycheck.
* new policy, I changed from a $2,500 deductible to a $10,000 deductible
and saved $4,300 per year. That was in 4/09. I max out my HSA this year,
I put in $7,450, in January I'll put in another $7,450, I don't think
they raised the cap for 2014, Darn.
I don't know what Obama will do with HSA's in the future, hope he
doesn't decide to tax them.
To each their own, Mikek
