Me (28) and my fiance (24) both have jobs that offer health insurance. The plan offered where I work is a HSA plan with a $2500 deductable, with 100% coverage after that, to which my employer contributes $50 monthly to the HSA. The share of the plan they pay, $350, is such that it cost me nothing to have this plan. Likewise, even adding my fiance still cost nothing to me monthly (the rate is below $350) I feel this is a sound option, considering that we are generally healthy and only really need catostrophic coverage. Plus, the HSA offers one free physical yearly, which is all we really need. (pap ect is included) Her plan, on the other hand, is a traditional 80/20 plan coming in at $100 monthlywith a $250 deductable.I feel she would be further ahead to just contribute to the HSA, but she doesn't trust it and wants to pay for coverage at her current job- I think she just throwing her money away, and that $100 monthly is to much considering she only makes $10 hourly. What should we do?
