First a pay cut then cancel my health insurance and replace it with crap (pardon me) that is practically worthless at a much higher cost. Anybody out there have a freaking clue how the "HSA" plan works? From what I have been told from HR the $140 bi-weekly payroll deduction covers only the premium and any money you wish to add or deposit to your HSA is above and beyond that. I happen to work at a terminal that did not have a rep visit to explain anything along with a TM who cares less. Thinking of looking for another job just for better benefits - anybody else in the same boat? (sinking boat?) OFD

Here's a link to the US Treasury website that has a lot of info in Health Savings Accts:U.S. Treasury - Health Savings Accounts (HSAs)

Is any body else in the same boat?

think everyone is watching the boat sink from under them.

you can buy your own health insurance fairly reasonably. I don't know if you have preexisting conditions though. There is this thing called MIB. You might want to check that before you apply.

if you consider $8000 a year for 1 person reasonable

$666 is a bit pricey. Health Insurance - Affordable Health Insurance Quotes, Individual Health Insurance is a good place to look. Maybe there is an HMO that is more reasonable where you live too? I hate HMO's but you do what you gotta do.
