[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1184776, member: 43436"] PTers in company-controlled plans currently have access to HSA, but they're also "use it or lose it." In contrast, management in company-controlled plans rolls over IIRC. No offense, TOS, but planning is the key to protecting yourself against ANY insurance. Most people know what illnesses regularly affect them & their families, and should know which medications/remedies are best for treating such illnesses and keep their medicine cabinet stocked with them. (Hint: medications have finite shelf-lives, thus seasonally medications are heavily discounted at the end of the season.) For example, you should recognize the symptoms of cold/flu/allergies and address the condition appropriately. You should NEVER go to the E.R. just because your kid sneezed. E.R. visits are costly... when I wrote this before, I was criticized with 'how dare you tell me when I should/should not go...' .... but for those of us who may be stuck here for 30 more years, we want to enjoy continued "free"/low-cost health care, and we certainly don't want to be paying for your ignorance. I support escalators in TEAMCare because it's just enough to make you think twice. Of course, it's still cheaper than the pre-2008 insurance. [/QUOTE]
