Like I have said many times. No. The only part of the benefits I take is I up my life insurance 1X and I take the AD&D. I have been on my wife health insurance for the last 11yrs. For years it was excellent insurance, and then Obozocare came along and screwed it all up. Before Obozocare we were paying around $80 every two weeks including dental and vision. Two years after Obozocare was in effect it shot up to over $200 for the same coverage. We now have an HSA and we are paying just about the same that includes the spousal surcharge. When we looked at the health plans of both companies we look at everything. Even with us paying the surcharge, because I don't take XPO insurance, it is still cheaper then any plan XPO has to offer it also has way lower deductibles and out of pocket max and they put way more into our HSA account every year. The company still offers the old plan only to the one still on it and from someone told her it is pushing almost $300 every two weeks. Thank you Obozo.
I can tell you this even if of some reason we got the unions Teamcare we would still keep her insurance plan. The money that we get put into the HSA account by the company is worth the $700 per year. $700 is just for the health part of the plan that does not include the surcharge, dental, or vision. As we all know HSA account can be invested and are tax free.
