Thanks for posting this. The article ended up being fluffier than I expected from the NYTimes. I was hoping there would be more insight and analysis, but I was left high and dry.
The reason I was hoping for more is that we just signed up for a new HDHP at work. We reviewed our health care expenses for the past 2 years. Our family spent about $6000 a year on health care between the premiums, deductibles, co-pays, and prescriptions. Is that average, above, or below? Or is it excessive?
I was appalled by that since we never get sick, so where does all the money go? We will have to be a little lucky if the HDHP route is going to be better for us, but we are willing to chance it.
