So that guy on the bottom isn't going to be moving up any time soon.

But hey, he may live near enough that it's not a problem for him. Good on him.

Let's not forget 744 displacements next year. Never good to be a plug when there are displacements. Unless you're fond of Virginia Avenue.

This is becoming the biggest pain in the ssa of all the other plans. If they continue to add more data requirements every year, I may switch just so I don't have to do all that crap. If you ever have your bp or cholesterol levels not fall into the accepted range, it will become a total goat rodeo.

For me, the Silver HSA is a slam dunk...for others it very well may not be. We must really be very lucky because with 6 of us we have never even come close to even an individual deductible other than when my wife hit it for having kids. And she hauls the kids into the doctor quite a bit so it must just be major catastrophes that people have I guess.

I only go to the doctor for my FAA medical or if someone has called 911 because I'm unconscious.......well until this year since I have to go to get the dang HSA dollars.

What biometric stuff are we talking about? The ONLY thing I ever do that they will ever see is the FAA medicals. I'm not jumping through any other hoops except maybe the no tobacco survey to get their little $500 credit or whatever.

Other than volunteering extra info on your own to get a few bucks, what other additional biometrics would they ever get?

I'm going to agree with you.

I think that is his point. Didn't it used to be that the HRA was funded a certain amount by the company without doing any of this biometric stuff. Now if you don't do it then you don't get the money. For some reason $1,500 sticks in my head.
