I have contributed the maximum the last 4/5 years. The deductable with my employers plan is 2,000 a person and 4,000 a family and max out of pocket a year is 4,000. My plan has about 20/25 mutual funds to choose from and a interest account that adjusts quarterly (current 3%). With this plan, the administrator (bank) issues a VISA debit card for you to use. I use the debit card about once every six months for something like aspirin/naproxen just to make sure it still works.

We put the max into ours $6250 I think for a family ... BCBS, individual policy.

We use it ONLY for BIG things ... braces, everyone needing eyeglasses/contacts at the same time. Husband had surgery in January so we used it for that. Ded is now met and we're covered 80/20 (our choice in plans to keep premiums low).

Basically it's for BIG things for us. Sort of an extra retirement account.

Isn't the amount you can put into it changing soon though??? Thanks Obama.
