Not everyone has that luxury. Sometimes you have children who have health issues so its not a matter of "looking after your health" and that drains the HSA.
I have one of those--yeah, not easy the first year perhaps, but for example, count on directing the next year's raise to funding it. Also, there is a provision that one person can meet their deductible without the entire family meeting it. My one meets it and then all additional claims are covered at the highest. So after like April, all the bills on that person are minimal even though the rest of us continue until the next threshold is met.
Ok, I must have missed this. Can someone post it or tell me where to find it, announcement that T put out?

- I had to pay max out of pocket 3yrs in a row. That really dented my emergency savings.*
That's where the HSA can work for you. You can fund that account, pre-tax. You don't miss it, just like 401k contributions. My spouse hits the deductible every year, early, but it never comes out of my bank account. I've hit the OOP max only once or twice, but again, paid with HSA. You can also carry it over each year, and it pays a little interest.
I wonder what ATT did not tell us in the release?

That sounds pretty transparent to me. Settled in with another cup of joe to read it for myself.
"on the other hand, if you look after your health then you can put away massive amounts of cash in the HSA over the years like I have"

For management, the Select plan doesn’t have many approved doctors. Have to go with broad if you have any ongoing conditions and need specialists. I had to pay max out of pocket 3yrs in a row. That really dented my emergency savings.

Remember the memo about minimum penetration? Well, seems the T Team changed that to maximum.
T is not telling you that once you go high-deductible medical plan, there is no going back (HSA is only for people with a high-deductible plan). There may be no fighting the medical plan; it’s not 1980’s anymore.
