Perhaps someone can get clarification?

My wife had 2 major hospital visits for a nearly $50K bill. I paid around $3,000.
HSA's are great if you and your family are healthy. Not so if there is a chronic health issue.
You may "gamble" on your health insurance needs...I don't. To me, health insurance is what it is, ..."Insurance".
I will have to look again, but if it is a contractual requirement for the company to provide, why would I POSSIBLY want to extract it from the language esp with all the polictical issues with ACA on the agenda?

Serious questions, not trying to antagonize. There are a few health issues we are dealing with and I may need to change our plans this year
