Our plan is to not use the HSA funds until we retire, but between the hefty premium + maxing the HSA contribution + out of pocket medical expenses I'm wondering if this makes sense.
is it the premium that’s hefty or the deductible? I thought the purpose of the HDHPs were to keep premiums low and deductibles high. I believe the irs actually sets the minimum deductible you have to pay to even have a qualified HSA.
