No it wasn't but that aside, it doesn't even do that.

We had a high deductable HSA and it sucked. And it was long before Obamacare came into fruition.

For a family of 4, yup.

That caps your medical expenses for 4 people at $27,100 annually. That's nothing.

It's a unfathomable amount for the millions that can't afford that.

People can't always afford everything they want.

Holy... That is horrible. So much for saving for retirement. That's a mortgage payment!

Yes, and HOPE LIKE HELL you don't get sick/injured. That's a $27,100/year bite (deductible starts all over again, yearly).

So much for "affordable"...

It's absolutely amazing that you would use a quote by Kirsten Powers and claim she's an "avid dem" geezus..she's paid by Fox News, she's a bubblehead who holds her finger up in the air to see which way the wind is blowing (and where the money is) and changes her political views as often as I change my clothes. Please do some due diligence before you support your argument by mentioning the likes of Kirsten Powers
