Background info:

I'm a single 22 year old guy with little health issues, no dependents, and the company funds 100% of healthcare.

The plans are through BCBS

If I choose the HSA, the company puts 179 a month into an account for me to use for my co-pays and such.

Not quite sure how the whole insurance thing works as far as PPO, HMO, etc.

What would be best for me in y'all's opinion?

The HSA may let you convert unused funds to IRA, but check on this.

I would go HSA in your situation I think.

Would have to know how much the deductible, premiums, and what % you are responsible for in each plan, but in general the HSA is usually the correct choice for a single person who is in good health.
