HSA's & High Deductible Health Plans (HDHPs) Explained

The basic idea is that you reduce health insurance premiums by choosing a plan that has a high deductible - for instance, $3200-$5700 for the whole family.

With many plans, you can choose to have it pay 100% of covered expenses after meeting the deductible, and the entire family's medical bills go toward meeting that ONE deductible, as opposed to each family member having to meet separate deductibles.

When you crunch the numbers, you often find that the out-of-pocket limits are roughly the same! By doing away with copays, coinsurance, etc, you can reduce the costs, often saving hundreds of dollars per month on a family plan.

Really depends on the kind of insurance you want. If you are looking for just major medical then you can pay a lot less. Maybe around $200-$250 month.
