Screw everyone. I work in health care.
I work 3 jobs.
My main job, where I have benefits is closing the dept tomorrow. At least I get a severance package supposedly. PTO is used up by everybody monthly, because we don't get enough hours.
Insurance was decent enough.
It looks like Affordable care act insurance will cost me more than my mortgage.

Care to comment on how it is with a High deductible insurance? I'm contemplating investing more into it since me and my wife are at healthy ages....

My main concern is we are planning to have a kid shortly, and I picture typical doctor visits except instead of $25-35 deductibles having to pay $200.

IIRC, normal checkups for the kids (preventative care) are covered 100% in my high deductible plan. Other things my kids do as a result of dumbassery, like breaking their arm, can suck up my payment to the deductible quickly. So some years my HSA contributions are totally untouched. Other years they're all spent. After a few years in the plan, I've got over $17k in the HSA as of today.

I've read some people pay the deductible with taxed dollars and use the HSA as another retirement account. I don't. I pay health expenses with HSA dollars, and it's still building up pretty nicely.
