In a normal somewhat healthy year you save huge because of the premium difference.

The problem is that the insurance companies in the country have made insurance so confusing that most people don't take the time to educate themselves on how their coverage works and what exactly they're paying for.

Btw the company being able to raise our share by 7% whether the plan cost goes up or not is BS
I agree. The spread between our HSA bank ($3000) and the max out of pocket ($4500) can be covered by your FSA ($2550 max contribution) that only cost 60 real cents on the dollar post tax.
