As someone in your position, who is making so much that they reach their max 401k limit, without contributing $1, I find it difficult to see the issue with placing the excess in a tax free account to be used for medical expenses. Are you saying you would rather pay taxes on this money and NOT have money growing untaxed?
Please read my previous posts but the short answer is yes. Rather have money, that’s guaranteed to stay with me, in my hands now then gamble I’ll live long enough to use my already overfunded VEBA account.
